Ulster club championship

[Wildweasel74]

That was the same last year, they not playing as well (or within them selves) this Yr, it's not easy to turn on or off. Just hope they don't come in undercooked this year, as only Magherafelt gabe them a tight game for 40mins.

Yes cross errigal and Kilcoo will be hard to beat, but a new name on the trophy will not be a big surprise
Winner of glenties/cargin to be dark horses

PP has Glen second favourites for the All-Iteland.

Here we go again

Fair enough probably as Kilcoo will always be longshots to retain it and Kilmacud have added Walsh. Would be interested to see how he'd get on against Kilcoo or Glen on a bad pitch, not too well I'd guess

Probably more to do with the fact that the Dublin champions invariably win the Leinster club title whereas the likes of Glen and Kilcoo will have to negotiate 3 tough games to get through Ulster. If either Glen or Kilcoo played kilmacud tomorrow there would be very little between the sides.

The provincial championship could and probaly should start a weeks earlier. Tyrone were knocked out of the All Ireland series and played their Co final last weekend.
With all the rain the last few weeks the pitches will be in shite.

In Tyrone, the county board played the league off before the championship started.
This is perfect for the clubs but it did cause the championship to run a bit later than would be ideal.
Ironically the u20s winning the All Ireland held up the start of the league which probably put everything back two or three weeks

Did they ?
Still league playoff for relegation and promotion ongoing in Tyrone as far as I know

[rodney trotter]

Knocked out on June 5*.

I see Tyrone started their league at the end of May. That's a long for players to be waiting. Club players shouldn't be waiting until end of September to begin their club championship

[An Watcher]

Just wondering if it would be a good idea to hold these club championships as double headers on neutral grounds? Attendance wouldn't be an issue but pitches holding up might be a bigger problem.  Just think it would be great to see 2 quarters on one day and possibly the semis as well?

They haven't been waiting around. They have been playing the league which determines which championship they will be in next year.

Yes, league fixtures were completed. Play offs could not be completed until relevant teams were out of championship or the championship completed.

I meant Tyrone didn't start the League's until middle of May. Why not play it earlier

with league and championship statuses linked in Tyrone, pretty much every league game is crucial and there is a max of 5 starred league games. It can't really start any earlier.

Was the league not held up for a length of time because of Greencastle's controversy??
