Staying at odd numbers for this season.

Yes

Yes

Well I hope all three options were thoroughly debated because a lot of young lads underage careers have just been cut short tonight, which is a sad outcome in my opinion.  For many, they'll probably just pack it in now.

Should never have been changed in the first place.. I've never seen the actual benefits of changing it.

Moving from under 17 to senior is a big step nowadays

The Chair & Secretary basically denied the existence of  option 3. Ten minutes later, the Central Council delegate ( think hes Terry Reilly) informed county committee that option 3 was on the table ! Christ Almight ! Think he-'ll be next chair !
Also some confusion about  Reserve Football fixtures being played on a Sunday. You couldnt make it up tbh !!!

Cahair O Kane reporting on twitter

' Armagh go back to U18s with immediate effect. Antrim clubs
have voted to remain at U17 for this year, reverting to U18 next year. Clubs in Antrim chose in the end not to include option 3, allowing 18-year-olds to play adult, as part of the final vote.'

If there's a stupid way of doing something Antrim will find it. At odds with the vast gaa opinion on this matter

What grades will be played on which days?

[delgany]

What grades will be played on which days?

Well based on tonight from top table -  minor, reserve and senior are on a Sunday in football and hurling ( hopefully on alternate weeks)

[realisticsaff]

So any kid who turned 17 last year might aswell pack it in then? Depressing really

[EOC1923]

Suppose you had to be there to hear the ins and outs of it, hard to fathom how Armagh are able to do change back and not decouple an 18 year old from senior football yet we can't find a way. Other counties just seem so much better at everything than us.
