Highland Radio reporting Paddy Carr has resigned as Donegal manager.

God, Donegal are in a real mess

Would guess the whole backroom team is going with him.

Doesnt leave much time for a new team to come in with cship around the corner.

Or will Kavanagh step up now?

Aidan O'Rourke. Stepping in Sunday as manager. Would be better off then appointing a new management team for the championship. Kavanagh if still interested and can't blame him if he says no.

Mayo footballers request league final to be played day earlier than planned

The county's Connacht SFC quarter-final takes place against Roscommon in Castlebar on April 9.
Mayo footballers request league final to be played day earlier than planned


Mayo's senior footballers have written to the GAA requesting their Allianz Division 1 final be played on Saturday week.

A county source confirmed player representatives issued a letter to the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) asking that they may consider arranging the match on April 1 as opposed to a day later. Mayo's Connacht SFC quarter-final takes place against Roscommon in Castlebar on April 9.

Unbeaten Mayo, who qualified for their third final in five years courtesy of beating Donegal last weekend, articulated their concern about the quick turnaround between the games. The Roscommon game will be their fourth game in as many weekends, their seventh in eight weekends.


An official request for a specific date has to be made by the Mayo County Board. It remains to be seen if one could be facilitated as broadcasters TG4 have organised live slots for both days with Division 3 and 4 finals usually taking place on Saturday and the Division 1 and 2 matches on Sunday

I know the schedule is known well in advance but it does seem to be a bit mad to be playing the first round of the championship a week you finish up the league.

Bonkers of scheduling.

And not one bit need for it.

It was a bad idea to launch the new championship setup before club championships were standardised. Clubs take up too much time running their championships. A 2 or 3 week break would be fair to county players.

With the split season two weeks between the Connacht quarter-finals and the semi-finals seems excessive.

Can't help but feel it's already a holdover from a time when there were a lot less games. 

Probably be a bit of a nightmare to reschedule flights to Ny and London.

I can see a scenario where one of the teams involved decide not to field in a league final.

Over the years John Prenty and Co have been keen to schedule those London, New York games on Bank Holiday weekend which allows more suits to attend those matches.

Why Mayo v Roscommon was shoehorned into Easter weekend is a bit of mystery. The loser of that game will then have to wait 6 to 7 weeks to play their next game.
