Hear a rough enough event down the Ards yesterday.. Tut tut!!
And the ref delayed the start of the second half as he left his pencil in the changing room. Amateur hour  ;)

::)


It nearly ran out of lead by the end of the game!

In the Ballygalget Column it seems.........  ;)

How the Loughgeil column didn't feature a few reds as well we'll never know.

We're well used to it at this stage.

Hopefully you aren't doubting our refs..  :'(

Fall all the way the focus of my suggestions was on underage's as opposed to senior, though I would concede a starred type format would be better than no senior games.

At juvenile level I strongly believe the need 1 session 1 game for development, however the games should vary in rules, numbers a side etc.  Underage players will learn different facets of the game playing 7 a side v 15 a side (and all the variations in between). 

However organising a structured season the offers kids these opportunities is a difficult job, but it's a crucial job and requires an appreciation of the developmental value of games/blitzes with everyone playing.  Development officers are there for the development of the game, otherwise they would be coaches.  In my experience each club has good coaches but they need the opportunities and these are limited.
What happens next????

Antrim V Kildare in the Athletic grounds on Saturday at 12.45 before the Armagh V Clare football qualifier.

Why wouldn't we? Have there been fall outs since the Kerry game?

NAG1

Don't think any fall outs just know a few of the lads have gone traveling or are about too.
I am sure we will have a team though  ;)

The hurlers getting in on the act according the GPA statement.

Earlier this evening the Kildare and Antrim Senior Hurling Teams issued a statement expressing their unhappiness at the scheduling of the Joe McDonagh promotion/regelation play-off scheduled for Saturday the 30th of June 2018.
While this particular fixture was agreed as part of the wider GAA Master Fixture Plan released late in 2017, we understand the players frustration at the short turnaround time for Kildare in particular, having just won the Christy Ring cup, before Sunday's final and that it places too much strain on the players involved. Lessons must be learned from this for next year's competition.

The GAA must now review the competitions in the context of an overall review of the new competitions structure at the end of the year.

i seen this last night on twitter.

fair play to both camps for taking a joint stand on this. Its probably too late to do anything about it as this should of been highlighted at the start of the season but its good to see both camps standing together on this.

Total farce that the CR winners have to win another game to get into the JMcD cup
hurl like f**k boi!

One up two down is just ridiculous. The way teams are promoted and relegated every year is just a complete lottery. Some years you have playoffs and some years you don't. Going between certain tiers you have a playoff, others you don't. It a complete farce. Time to organise a simple process if you finish bottom of your tier you get relegated, if you finish top you get promoted.

That is the plan. The issue is only this year as they want to reduce the amount of teams in the Joe McDonagh Cup.

Why?

5 teams leaves an odd number so any one week one team will have no game. With 6 teams there's an even number and all in will take the same number of weeks to play out the league format!

Am I missing something?

No idea. It's not as if it didn't work this year.

That was my take on it as well!
