This is a very sad situation and how a club like Lavey can let this happen does not sit with me. When you think of Lavey you think of Henry and Seamus Downey and the McGurks in the famous red and black from 91 when they won the All-Ireland like Down. Its not right.

Couldn't agree more. I had heard from a Lavey member that there was no-way they were going to let it happen but it sounds like it might be? No matter what the row was about, your club is bigger than your pride/ego. Club should always win. Running away to another club is no answer.

Not sure if it'll help St.Brigids in the longer term either. Fit them better to focus on bringing their younger players through.

ask St Endas girls, they felt that no other option was available

Rishi Sunak claims protocol can be saved but can't comment on timeline for resolution of Naomh Eanna ladies dispute 🙂

What about Co squads for minor. Are they 17 or 18 or is this up for debate also

Played a few times at the O'Neill pitch, is it at the top of a hill? stand on the left hand side as you walk in?

Well MR2 , we're you playing the flute or the drums

Following recent very disheartening u20 football result v Tyrone - a 20 point stuffing. Can anyone advise how many from u20s panel come from the fertile crescent of SW Antrim and how many went to Ivy League schools in South Derry? Or was the hammering due to City players being in the squad

Plenty of great ideas but was this not under the remit of the multi million Gaelfast programme.
This appears to have fallen off the radar

SW clubs had a clean sweep in Antrim football but a very poor return for Ulster games. 1 Victory from 4 games is.... Disappointing is not a strong enough word IMO

So in ulster club it's
SW - 1
Belfast - 0

Still a victory for the SW, unless my maths is wrong
HH, maths are correct. It's not a  city country thing for me I'm just giving an opinion. The much lauded GAA machines (near neighbours as well) from the SW disappeared all too soon from Ulster.  In the overall context of Ulster club games Belfast have a far healthier track record if my sums and historical knowledge are accurate

Are there not enough games organised or do clubs pull out of matches at short notice. Surely there are enough players to fulfil fixtures across most age groups

MR2 states... The thing is if the ref blew it 2.30 early it would show very clearly on his watch. I can get it if he plays more time but at the very minimum you'd (I'd) find it impossible to blow while it was under 30 mins.
Cmon MR2,  wise up lad. Remember Offaly v Clare 1998 A/I semifinal

Any truth in Kevin Murray as new LD manager. Quality and experienced manager/coach. Has taken Queens & Aghagallon, maybe time for his own family club and won't break the bank either
