Here, I’ll probably get tarred and feathered for this.... but in hindsight, does Lurgan maybe have too many clubs?
No no, hear me out...
I’m no expert on Lurgan club scene, and maybe I’m only judging this by Clans’ previous success. But families now are smaller, kids have other interests (karate, gymnastics, x boxes etc)... maybe the strength of the towns clubs have been diluted as the talent is spread too thinly across all the Lurgan clubs. Would we get a Lurgan SFC winner if we had players available from say Clans and Peters? Or CE/Paul’s etc?
When those clubs were founded, numbers were bigger, families larger etc so it wasn’t an issue. But nowadays, it might be?
