Two years ago when a few motions went to county convention on changing league structures and were dismissed was there not a bye-law implemented that stated all future changes to leagues would take 1 year to implement. (Think it was to stop clubs attempting to 'promote' themselves through structure changes).

If so are the county board breaking their own rules by implementing these changes??

Aidan Mc Ateer, former championship winning captain (1992) Full back for Cushendall for most of the 1990's. Played for Antrim as well.

Any idea who is helping him??

I see on the county website the championship draws will take place on February 27. Does anyone know how this is done? In an open meeting etc? I am not for one miunte suggesting anything underhand - genuinely just curious.

Also does anyone have any info on when the master fixtures are relaesed for league games etc?

SIE I wonder as All-Ireland champions will the Shamrocks be seeded for next year's draw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The draws are usually taken place in front of the county committee (club reps and all) and previously they took place in the tennets factory on glen road when they were sponsors.

The GAA master fixtures came out at start of december and have been disappointed myself that the county have yet to even release dates for fixtures.  Surely the CCC can see the dates to play the fixtures and thus give a document even stating round 1, round 2, for league and c/ship etc.  And then the computer system fixes the actual games so why it takes so long is beyond me.  From a mgt point of view it certainly makes the pre-season plan very open ended as we have no idea when to change our training to reflect the games starting.

John generally your club would have them by now. The fixtures have to be agreed by the clubs that's why they take so long

Im unaware of any stage when the clubs had to agree on fixtures.  From previous I am aware the went through club reps on the county committee  for approval but despite being very close to the committee in my club we have yet to recieve any. It is possible that because the countys agm was extended to this week to be completed there was a hold on them but i am not too sure on this.
