Lads trying to get some thoughts on Go-Games, which is being introduced for under 10 this  year in south armagh, has anyone any info on how well(or not) its working elsewhere,
and wat do the south armagh underage coaches think about it.

HOU - i teach across the border in Co.Louth and we use the Go games for all school competetions....I works excellently - gets everyone involved.....one touch one solo stops the good players from dominating....also another rule i like is that if a player if fouled - they take the free....speeds up the game....

I believe it was warmly welcomed in county down, might be worth posting on that thread as well.

it was indeed corn, as stated by Real above, it gives the kids a real chance to get involved in the game, and means there are no players really dominating, as any kid who is maybe that bit bigger than others would do in those age groups.

Go Games is the way forward. It is a fantastic concept and serves to improve all those players who participate in it.

Just one thing though. Expect the bigger clubs to vent their distaste of it. In Down, quite a few of the larger clubs were up in arms about it as they felt that the whole competitiveness was being taken out of U-12 football.

Heard last night that Killean have been pulled out of the Killeavy Sevens tournament, word is the powers that be didn't think it would be appropriate.

Why wouldnt it be appropriate?
They are a club in their own right now so are entitled to be there
Have they withdrawn or have they been kicked out?

[Goats Do Shave]

Is it not invitation only?

Would find it hard to believe they would get an invite, unless the Killeavy ones wanted to embarass their new rivals?

Killeavy are a fair enough club so they wouldn't invite them out of spite.

Fair play to Killean for the gesture, but I am sure it would be better if everyone just got on with football.

anyone know if the county players will be availbale for their clubs for the sevens?

Who withdrew them?
If it was Killean, they shouldnt have entered in the first place
If it is Killeavy it is a serious case of sour grapes

[apres_match]

They were told that they wouldn't be competing as the standard would be too high to make it worthwhile. I think myself that the standard would be too high for them but after all, it's only a bit of craic and they would end up in Killeavy social having a drink like the rest of the teams. Don't think the Killean lads themselves are too happy.

[illdecide]

Well i know there is a stag doo next weekend for a good few Clans guys so i wouldn't imagine them having a good team with them. Clans v Killean would have been a tight match had they been in the same group

[IVEDECIDED]

Is that the famous Clans excuses coming out already! Grow up man its only a sevens tournament. Surely even the Clans can pull seven players together! Yous c***ts love your stag weekends! I didnt even know that many of yous were married!!

[lurganblue]

it doesnt stop them though chief
