What about the management of Liam Nugent, very unfair IMO and wouldn't fill me with confidence on this current management. An early exit and it could be over for Doogan!

Nugent being dropped definitely a strange one, seemed to score everytime he got a chance, Clarke and Corry both from omagh gone also.

Would Clarke not have something to offer?

Very surprised to hear Clarke is gone. He is a quality player with serious pace and a very good man marker. This team needs pace in all areas so I honestly thought he would have been pushing for a place on the playing squad in NFL

So we can get back to u12/14/16/18/20’s and still have over 17’s playing Senior?

Hopefully that will be the case

My source tells me the ccc knew about the weekends mtg well in advance and jumped the gun by sending out the initial age groups and fixture dates..  clubs will vote next tues on it,,

Let's hope that the majority of the clubs have common sense and get it back to the old gradings for this season.

Will 18 year olds be allowed to play adult football if it changes back to 14/16/18. That will be the deciding factor - many clubs (if not all) need their 18 year olds at adult level to insure 2 teams playing every weekend. Reserve football will suffer immensely if 18 year olds are not allowed to play in 2023

Morgan
Hampsey
McNamee
McKernan
Devlin
Harte
OgMcCartan
Kennedy
Kilpatrick
Meyler
Canavan
Sludden
McCurry
Donnelly
Canavan

Canavan junior & McNamee appear to be injured as do a few others. If you consider the above team then we still can call upon the following;

Benny Gallen,
Cormac Monroe,
Niall Kelly,
Cormac Quinn,
Nathan McCarron
Frank Burns
Conor Quinn
Peter Teague
Liam Rafferty
Richie Donnelly
Paudie McNulty
Joe Oguz
Liam Nugent
Emmet McNabb
Conor Cush
Kieran McGeary
Dalaigh Jones
Ryan Jones
Michael McGleenan
Lorcan Quinn
Rory Donnelly
Aidan Clarke
Eoin Corey
Probably have still missed a few out - apologies to those players.

That is a lot of men not getting football who have to be kept happy, which appears to have been a problem in the last 2 seasons when you consider the lads who dropped out.

Were R Canavan and McGleenan held back for u20s or what was reason for thier omission?

Both injured. But McGleenan is overage for the 20’s. Only 2 players still available for the 20’s are Canavan & Cush. I assume they will both go back to the 20’s within the next few weeks in preparation for the Ulster Championship

What is the rule on u20's playing for seniors and then dropping back to U20 competition?
Is it just a Championship appearance for seniors in the same year that makes you ineligible? Or do National league games count?

I think some of Derry's U20s played in the League last year and still were available for U20 Championship so must just be Senior Championship rules you out.

Think this is correct. A senior championship appearance automatically rules you out if U20’s as far as I am aware. Does it only concern 2 players currently?

Shockingly poor social media coverage of the McKenna Cup from all concerned - Tyrone GAA, Ulster GAA….

No teams, no panels, only found this link by pure chance on another board page

Surely the Ulster GAA can publicise their competitions better than this! Even tell all counties to release panels prior to the competition starting to let public know who is on squad

Are the rumours of a young player from omagh looking to move to kc true?

Very strange situation to be honest. Hard to fathom. Are KC actually willing to accept the transfer?

Booked flights to Dubai earlier. Need to get a hotel sorted. Anyone any good recommendations of areas to stay in for 6 nights?

Personally I prefer the Jumeirah Beach Residence area. Purely because there are plenty of places to eat etc within walking distance along The Walk and you are also right on Jumeirah Beach.
A friend of mine stayed around the La Mer area recently and liked it also.
Lots of people like the Palm - but it’s a long way from other areas.
But lots of people happy to stay on Atlantis there for the duration of their holiday.
Expensive spot to stay tho

Yes, JBR area is perfect. Right on the beach, near the marina and surrounded by great bars & restaurants plus shops for the people that need those also.

Would not be a fan of excessive heat however from what I can see peak season and therefore dearer prices start from 20th July onwards.  Will definitely get greater value if we go in early / mid July.

Any recommendations for Spain / France / Italy?

Salou in north east Spain about an hour south of Barcelona. Great water parks, like a mini Disney type resort near a typical seaside resort town

Planning for next summer,

Any recommendations on the continent, kids are aged 4 - 12 so water park type resorts would be a preference.   Thinking of going all inclusive as there is 6 of us.

Thanks.

Turkey

Agree 100%.

Brilliant all inclusive hotels and some come with small water parks etc. ideal for the age group you mention. However, it is seriously hot in summer time

so is their not going to be any club football to july is that not a bit long of a break.

This can’t be possible.

Assume the leagues are 15 games then you need July, August, September and most of October to get that all played. Where does championship fit in?

Surely the league will be like last year. Start end of April/early May and play 5 starred games every two weeks to get us up to end of June before a possible break to allow county team to finish up assuming they get to AI semi finals

Tyrone can’t play 15 league games plus a championship in 14/16 weeks if championship winners at all grades are to be ready for Ulster series in November
