I'm going to guess that it's a deliberate policy to limit the potential for schoolboys being called up for senior county teams, as when that happens it only adds to the problem that regrading was meant to solve.

Did Antrim break the rules then do you reckon wobbler?

I very much doubt U18s are ineligible to play U20 and it would seem Senior

Jesus,
    some balls up there. No intercounty football for an 18 year old. You can't play intercounty U20 but can play adult club.
Doesn't make sense.

Can someone explain the rule for the U20's then? In our own county we have the second coming of God (Peter's son Darragh), but I'm led to believe he cant play for the U20's because he's still a minor at club level? Does this mean he can't play at all for the u20s or is it just up untill his club minor season is finished?

if a county has no U18 competition then the 18 year old can play U20

Maybe a year playing just club and schools football would do him not harm.

The purpose of the change was to reduce burn-out in that age group.
