The 2nd Tier was being talked about for 12 months or more beforehand.
The U 20 was sprung a few days ago.

What was the original thinking in moving it to the summer and what has changed?

Original thinking was that you could only be on 1 Co panel so all 3 Football Championships could be played simultaneously.

Was little thinking at all, silly scheduling that should have changed after the first year and now its moved back to similar schedule as the U21 championship was.

Was talks about the displeasure of the June to August U20 championship since it was introduced. My point was the change was made in the recent Cork congress the same congress that brought the 2nd tier in.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

One man not happy with the new schedules.
While he has a personal "hat" in the issue it is
hard to develop u20s in February alright.

It's a pity in 10 years time, a fella who played U20 county can't be able to look back and say he played alongside or against David Clifford.

June schedule had its issues also, matter of fact some players opted out of county U20s panels to focus fully on their studies and having the latter end of the U20 championship clashing with the the super duper 8s was poor scheduling also

In the terms of sigerson cup one solution could be playing it November, December while the college league currently played at the moment moved back a month.

I can imagine such a rule was scrapped once the schedule was moved back to the spring.  Underage competitions are mostly off the cuff compared to senior level as the latter is bogged down with tactics and low risk football.

Rossfan

If the rule is in the TO it will have to go to Congress to be changed ;D
I heard the CC meeting at the weekend will give a dispensation though.
