There doesn't seem to be much action on the merry go-round, I heard a few clubs are panicking as the talent pool isn't great.

Is there any site that does up to date fixtures, Ulster colleges website is away to the dogs
Their Instagram page is also fairly up-to-date with things as well. However for fixture lists it's tricky to get them, especially with most schools arranging dates/times to suit themselves. I don't think they're published into the GAA GMS either.

Newry city itself would be dominated by soccer, pints and cocaine these days mostly so doesn't leave much time for the GAA. Bosco and Shamrocks would traditionally have fairly good underage teams but the stereotypical town problem of not being able to get them through to senior level appliesQuote from: snoopdog on November 02, 2022, 08:05:58 AMNewry is a bit of a mess. At least one of their clubs should be competing at senior level given the population.Quote from: Rossfan on November 01, 2022, 09:50:29 AMWould Newry be vastly different. Should Down GAA not be concentrating efforts there. Derry city would've been mentioned similarlyQuote from: Fionntamhnach on October 31, 2022, 04:36:27 PMOver 13,000 people (2011), over 90% Nationalist/Catholic background, 55% with Irish identity only.Quote from: seafoid on October 31, 2022, 04:22:29 PM
Is Strabane a soccer town ?
Of the four main towns in Tyrone, Strabane would likely be regarded by most in the county as definitely being more strongly influenced by soccer than Gaelic games.
Tyrone Co Board needs to up their game there I would think.
Westport was pretty soccer orientated but has been turned around to become Mayowestros SF Champions.
Shur everyone has the cocaine problem these days and the pints have always been there

Burren won a senior league title beating Kilcoo in the final, they were beaten by a very good Warrenpoint team in the QF of the senior championship after extra time. It was by no means a disastrous year for Burren, The country and its granny are looking for managers, You would go a long way finding anyone better than McCorry and Adams at this stage of the year. So its a wise decision by the Oligarchs in keeping them. They should win county u20 as well so all bodes well for the future.
I don't get the facilities bit as looking at division 1 all clubs have access to two pitches , lights, indoor hall and a gym so although Burren have a great set up I don't think it gives them that much of an edge.

Crazy that Burren ratified the same management team for next season, probably gave them more money too, after their lacklustre season. Burren probably have everything they need to win championships and leagues every year but lack the drive and steelyness to do so. Facilities are top notch, which plenty other division 1 teams in Down would kill for, so no excuses for them. Some clubs in division 1 don't have any facilities, believe it or not....

If we could get 7 of the bigger clubs to put in a B team to a Div5 it might work. Top 13 would not be enough though. It would need to be 20 at least.
The problem here isn't about whether this is a practical solution. it's a cultural problem.
Getting a group of players, administrators and spectators to go "away" on a Friday night when the first team are at home would take some getting used to. It would require riding out some bad times for a year or two before it becomes normalised. And I don't think people in this era have the patience to ride it out.
Outsider buttin' in here, in Tyrone All-County Football League games involving thirds teams are played on a Saturday afternoon unless their corresponding first team isn't playing that same weekend where instead they play at the same time as all other fixtures in their division/grade. Rarely do such clubs have their first & third teams playing at the same time.
How many of the senior panels caanot play thirds?
Unlike in Down, reserve football is tied to first team performance in Tyrone. Senior & Reserve games are played as double headers i.e. such fixtures on Sundays are/were 2.15pm reserve & 3.45pm senior.
To enter a thirds team in the Tyrone ACFL, you must...
* Declare a panel of 40 players whom are only permitted to play in your first team or reserve team (this list of 40 also includes 12 players whom aren't allowed to play in their reserve or "second" team, assuming these teams play in Division 1 & Division 1 reserve)
* If you also wish to enter a fourth team that is your corresponding reserve team for for thirds team i.e "thirds reserves", you must also declare additional players that can't play for this team (this depends on the Division you play in - in Division 3 it's 9 players, Division 2 it's 10. Since no thirds team in recent history in Tyrone has played in Division 2, it's essentially nine players).
* If a player from outside the initial list of 40 players mentioned above plays for the first team or their corresponding reserve/"second" team, they are no longer eligible to play for the thirds or thirds reserve/"fourth" team(s) for the remainder of that playing year.
* If a player on the list of 40 players mentioned above has not played for either the first team or reserves/"seconds" before 1st July of the competition year, they may be allowed to regrade to play in the thirds or thirds reserves/"fourth" team(s) with permission from the Tyrone CCC.

Kilcoos thirds would walk division 4 and probably be in the hunt for promotion out of 3

Just seen a photo or the Carrickmore panel, management and background team. How many are in their management and background team? Looks near enough to be on par with a county setup.
Is this the norm for club teams in Tyrone now?
Errigal probably something similar?
