Hertfordshire GAA

Hurling The county board was created in 1960 when it was deemed that the number of clubs in the region north of London supported a separate league.

The area is not in fact just Hertfordshire but encompasses Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Huntingdonshire and Cambridgeshire.

Hertfordshire is probably among the weakest of the British counties as a result of the small number of large population centres in the region it serves.

[citation needed] It has further been affected by the general trend of reduced emigration from Ireland to the UK since the 1980s.

As a result, a number of the original clubs have folded – including the Milton Keynes-based team, Erin Go Bragh, in 2005.
