I'm still interested in finding out the current status of O'Rorke.

Good points. Just once it would be nice to be the innovators wouldn't it?

If we really wanted to be innovative we should luck look at hurlers (the other national competition - Hurling) rather than Irish Footballers. They play a much more physical game which is played at a greater speed.

Didn't Kenelly play Hurling?

Not sure about Kenelly. O'Halpin is a hurling player.
Quite a few of them play both Gaelic footbal and hurling. They have separate seasons.

Actually the two comps are played virtually simultaneously, the national finals are held with a couple of weeks of each other. But that's not the point. It's probably not feasible for our club but Hurlers - who usually do play football growing up and therefore have similar skills - play a game that's closer to AFL in speed and physicality so if we are going to look at The Irish Experiment it's worth taking a different tack.
