One of biggest issues with the split and very congested season is that under age inter county championships get totally lost or ignored.  For example the U20 football championship started tonight and I bet that's news to most on here.

This has been an issue for the last few years with the U20 football especially. It's not directly related to the split season.

2018 the first year of the U20 championship was played from the 25th May to the 5th of August the following year was made shorter 22 June – 3 August and 2021 championship more rushed again because of covid was played off between 1st July  to the 15th August. 


Each of those three years it got plenty of the limelight. Right now it's hard to keep track of the fixtures when all are squeezed into already busy senior schedule which will naturally grab the majority of attention.  This years U20 All Ireland football final is scheduled for the same weekend as the Leinster,Ulster senior football finals and round 1 of the Tailteann cup along with Munster hurling championship,Christy Ring,Nickey Rackard,Joe McDonagh cups also.

Is there any schedule for the round robin games this year, if one wanted to go on holiday?
The GAA website seems silent on the matter, although it does have the quarter-finals.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Yes, but the rounds and the groups for the All-Ireland group stage are all mixed up here, which explains my question above.

Is there any need for that preliminary quarter final? Is that to make sure there are no dead rubbers?
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

seems to be so on final day a every team should still have something to play for either winning group to get the bye or get 2nd or 3rd and avoid elimination.

Do teams that finish 2nd get home advantage in prelim qfs their should be an award for coming 2nd rather than 3rd.
