My understanding is that Reserve Championship games will be played on the same weekends that Tyrone are playing. Same idea as last week which imo worked very well.

Ruth wants to live in the past but she doesn't want to deal with the past.

Pengelly thinks UVF flags are part of the inbuilt KKKulture within a new mixed housing development.

Foster will push for an armed forces covenant.

Agree 100% with this! Can only seeing this playing out one way over the next few months/years.

I see thee CCC have released the reserve championship fixtures.  At least its not November this year, what way does player exclusion work for that saying its played before the senior championship?

Heard at the weekend there that anyone who did not play in your senior team or came on as on sub in you last championship game last year is eligible to play...

So by that logic any of the senior teams that had a decent championship run last year will be weakened because they would have used more of a panel of players.  I like that the CCC are finding a place for the reserve championship as long as it continues to be before the senior championship clubs will accept the rulings on eligibility.  It doesn't bode well for the fella that maybe looking to wind down maybe played senior championship but cant really commit this year and wanted a run out with the reserves that they miss a championship season. You could lose men like that from football all together

Surely it doesn't matter how far your senior team got last year... the rule applies to your last championship game and not the whole campaign

Yes, that's correct.

Here's another scenario, hypothetically, lets say Mark Bradley or another Killyclogher/Coalisland county player got injured in last years county final and missed the replay due to injury. He would be availlable to play in this years reserve championship. 
Not really sure what the thinking was into this, didn't think there was a problem with eligable players in the reserve championship but there you go!!

Looked it up and the drive times, plus boat times would add up to over a day way plus roughly the same cost as a flight and car rental. We are only planning another week.

Anyone stayed in La Croix Du Vieux Pont?

Stayed in loads of these campsites. La Croix Du Vieux Pont is up there with the best of them. The site is very spacious and very clean. Usually stay with AlFresco here in the annex which is like an extension to the park. Disney/Paris are about 1hr15 away so they are options for day trips. Flight and car rental is how we always do it. Only downside we've found in La Croix Du Vieux Pont is that due to being further north, the weather isn't as good as southern France/Spain but not much they can do about that. Highly recommend it!

Omagh won 2-18 to 2-11

Justy played about 15 minutes for Omagh last night coming on as a sub against Donaghmore

You sure? It was a starred match.

My mistake, wasn't a starred game.

Great game in Coalisland yesterday with Coalisland scoring a free in injury time to level it up.

Got to agree with this, unreal the amount of people that be on the sideline in some senior games. Same rules as the Championship should apply with only a certain amount of players/officials allowed in the dugout. Although in last years championship this rule was constantly ignored and went unpunished.

I've said it before. Split reserves into East/West and into 2 divisions each so you have East 1/East 2/West 1 and West 2. Games played Friday nights, Top 2 or 4 in each group go into quarter/semi finals. Run these off over consecutive weeks with no postponements. Pretty similar to how youth football is done, which in my opinion is a success.

I still feel it wouldnt matter if the fixture is being played with the neighbours 5 mile down the road.  Asking any player to come out twice over the weekend to play football matches (in which they might only play one) is not going to work.

I get what you are saying, although the reserves would be swapping a match for a training session on a Friday night which I'm sure most would rather do. I think its worth a go anyway as the current system is on its knee's.

What channels have gone today?

[One out of 6 pre the Derry game, the other 5 will go ahead with no issue]

Dublin are the best team in Ireland - They played there 1st round of championship last night and this included U21 players who have an all ireland final tomorrow week.

I know there are similarities with other counties but for people to be blind to what Micky is doing in this case says to me that they are merely followers of a cult leader.

Calling late player away weekends - calling late training games - telling players not to play - Its just not right!

On the last point too this was one training weekend and one weekend set of fixtures that he requested to change (not cancel). One out of 6 pre the Derry game, the other 5 will go ahead with no issue I'm sure and one he wanted to move to midweek. Things are being blown out of proportion.

Wouldn't be so sure about this bit!

Must have been true, Dromore v Pomeroy off! Crazy!
