CCC league proposals sent to clubs today.
Hurling leagues to start on 18th April with 7 rounds of games being played on Wednesday nights until they switch to Sundays on July 1st.
Coincidentally that means there are no hurling league games fixed for the day after Ulster games on Saturdays - only football so dual clubs will end up fielding weakened UHL teams while hurling only clubs can field what they want.
All proposals up for discussion with clubs in a meeting with CCC in a couple of weeks time.

yes, just to back up aontroim abu, no major changes just better consistency, hopefully with senior and reserve games on the same day!!!

. In essence the only thing that the Ulster leagues are missing are peak times for the fixtures.

If the counties would move over and promote the Ulster league as the number one league we would see strong competition as you are looking for Skull.

The Antrim leagues were strong (i.e. regular, compeditive, meaningful, well attended) up to 1989 and they have been on the wain since as County Management became more and more driven to attain AI success. We have been digging away at the foundations of the game ever since and I can't see anyone trying to change it
people say the Antrim league was strong 6 to 7 years ago, was there any matches called off due to football then? Not very many.

Skull, I think you are being very short sighted. You continually focus on the Antrim set up and games within Antrim. In order to progress Hurling in both Antrim and Ulster the standard has to be raised throughout the province.

In order to raise the standard we need a strong competition across the board and the Ulster league is the means to do this.

What eventually will happen is that the Ulster league will take over as the main league by means of the Ulster council marketing it better and providing better incentives for teams to win there leagues.

If we have a situation where the Ulster league is run in the summer months with top class games with all clubs playing their top players is this a bad thing or would you still want to see the Antrim league dominate?

or would you still want to see the Antrim league dominate? So as you can win Ulster by 20Pt's. Come on move on, especially in these changing times.
