Well if you can't see it you can't see it

But if you see it then action it regardless of the person, the rules apply to all those involved in the game

Interesting article in IN. Given the councils very vocal support for development of a sporting site at this location (at least the quotes suggest that what they want) perhaps Antrim should tip the hat at this and run a mono rail between it and Dunsilly.

'IFA has officially withdrawn interest in the site at Birch Hill Road' v.1

Councillors have expressed anger after the Irish Football Association's interest in developing a national soccer training centre in Antrim was "officially withdrawn".

The centre had been earmarked for a 60-acre site at Antrim's Birch Hill Road, but in a report presented to Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council's Operations Committee, it was stated "an alternative preferred site is now in development with a private owner".

Ask your club secretary

Tyrone had a county board meeting on Tuesday, a Management Meeting on Wednesday evening, CCC issued all start dates for every grade and code as well as formats for pre season cups, leagues and easter/summer holidays. 15th January and every team/coach/player can plan around it

Is that just over 4 months of proper football for Div. 1, 2 & 3 teams?

Has Antrim the league championship format?

Div 1 final and relegation final Wednesday the 23rd of July.

Yes the championship has got the same format as last year.

Round 2 - 8th to 10th Aug
Round 3 - 29th to 31st Aug
Quarter finals - 12th to 14th Sept
Semi finals - 26th to 28th Sept
Relgation final 29th Sept
County finals - 10th to 12th Oct

These are whats down at the moment and clearly could be altered again so dont take it as 100% confirmed until the full fixtures are released.

U21 football championship starts 26th Oct

Níl a fhios agam

any update on further managerial appointments in clubs this year?

I believe Naomh Brid and Casements have both strengthened their squads with new players on board for 2025. If so i see them both capable of going a step further than last year if the reports are true.

So if you cant produce footballers, just go out and sign footballers?

Two new favourites for the championship it seems.

Gealic man

Do you know the names of these players?

Hoof Hearted

How reliable can we take dates and formats now, saying as the outlined draw for last year's championship changed after quarter finals.
