Haven't seen them yet tbh PJ. Must be due out soon.

Good read in today's IN. Highlights just how precarious the situation was when they took over. No exaggeration to say Antrim GAA was on its knees. What has been done in two short years has been nothing short of excellent.

The finances are returned in surplus, Dunsilly project further developed, business community on board, credibility established at provincial and at Croke Park, a Belfast regeneration programme, Casement Park social club fulfilling its potential, a chartered accountant as our treasurer, and Casement Park project going through the processes.

Now that SV has put their foundation in place the next few years should see even further progress, which hopefully will include improved structures in coaching and games development amongst others.

Should they get back in  ;)

with all the negative PR coming from the usual suspects I'd be surprised they get one vote... :-X

For every positive there must be a negative mate..

Just aswell as the positive PR is into overload at this stage, must be a few worried folk in the SV.

Just on "The Dunsilly project" ...... anyone else thing its all a bit half baked of an idea. A decent attempt but the wrong location with restricted space, with no focus on making sure the facility is capable on handling our weather. What we have are well fenced but poorly maintained pitches which don't drain well and now we want to put floodlights on them? Am I missing something?

MOTIONS
1.
O'Donnell's GAC would like to make an amendment to the County Bye-law 19.1.C from

A player who has played with a club at any grade from under 12 to under 18 (minor) grades in Championship or League may only transfer to another club if the player's family residence has changed to the catchment area of the club he wishes to be transferred to.

To Read

2.
O'Donnell's would like to add the following to Bye Law 19.2

Any player returning to their club after having had a playing permission the previous year cannot seek a transfer for the coming year provided their parent club is fielding a team at the respective age group in which the payer is eligible to play.

3.
To grant CCC unilateral power to rearrange fixtures where a previously
unforeseen clash of league and championship fixtures across codes would
otherwise lead to one or more teams being treated unfairly.

4.
That the All County Minor (or Under 17 if applicable) football league revert back to the divisional boards.

5.
St Brigids GAC wish to replace the current Ulster GAA bye-law relating to the provincial Club Hurling Championships to read as follows:

To participate in the Ulster Hurling Club Championship at any level (with the current exception of Lisbellaw). A club must have taken part in a club championship within their own County in the competition year.
A Club that has previously won an Intermediate or Junior Championship shall not participate for one year at the grade after their previous win.
A county board must apply to Comhairle Uladh for regrading if necessary.


RECOMMENDATIONS

Not worth the paper they are written on.

What were the recommendations?

 Must be a few from outside the County seeking posts on the CB as ClubAontroma are tweeting/canvassing for no change.

RECOMMENDATIONS

1

That the incoming CCC consider duals clubs with County players on Hurling/ Football panels when fixing club games in the opposing code. A degree of flexi ability is shown to club's who have players playing with the County on the same day as club league games have been fixed and allow time change/ date change of club games were possible.

2

That, given the overwhelming majority of players are in favour of change, in the 2018 season the CCC initiate a pilot scheme to move 3-6 Adult league fixture rounds from a Sunday to a Friday evening.


Because they are only recommendations, there is no onus to implements any of them even if passed.

CA is representative of those who have become members down the years and of the executive committee of that body.
