So a small skinny player that turns 16 in december the previuous year is aloud to play and the man child that turns 16 in january of the championship year and has been shaving since 12 and has pubes since he was nine is not allowed to play??  And they tells us it is to protect against player burn out and the physcicality of it.  Nonsense!!  A clear case of a rule of for the sake of it and doesnt acchieve anything.

You're right. Age clearly is the wrong denominator to be using. They should have it that you have to have had pubes for 6 years or more.

I could be wrong but I think Cavan Gaels claimed that they did not appeal and that this was a false report.

They insisted at the time that they did not appeal, but once the story was in the news i supose the ulster council had to act as a rule was broken.
