Burren took a bit of a pasting last night; do they not have a load of players?

CCC have met this evening and given the current weather conditions have decided to postpone all fixtures, adult and juvenile, football and hurling scheduled for Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th of April.
CCC will review matters again on Sunday evening in relation to the coming week.
The All County League Fixtures scheduled for tomorrow night Friday proceed as planned and Clubs are reminded of the protocol surrounding postponements.

It sounds like there are plenty of clubs really struggling with their pitches at the minute, especially those clubs with only one pitch. In this case I think it's the right decision. It could also mean a slightly bigger crowd at the county game, with no premier reserve games tomorrow.

Is there any possibility of a doubleheader with the Down ladies? In the hopes that a parent will take them to the game, we should distribute tickets to every P7 student. We've never had a bigger game at home in years, and we need everyone behind the team on Sunday because we cannot fail.
I see there are reserve league fixtures for 11am on Sunday morning, with a few teams having to travel a fair distance for away games. That may impact attendance a little (or lead to several reserve teams not fielding).
Why any reserve player would want to travel an hour for a friendly football game defies me.
Why wouldn't they? Sure you could say that about most teams in the county playing any game then, as only a couple of teams are ever in contention for winning the SFC. Football is a hobby for the majority of players.
