Is there not a £300 fine for not fielding?

So whats the chances this weekend? Anyone giving us a punchers chance?

I see the game isn't being televised? On BBc or Rte?
Has this every happened for a Ulster semi final before, why would all games including prelim be on and not the Semi final?

Is it expected to be 1 sided and not worth the viewing?

In a nutshell, no.

The most sure fire method we could every conceive of to reduce adult player numbers, and to place a giant wall between juvenile and adult playing days, is to make the cost of fielding reserve football teams prohibitive.

That said, development leagues - like reserve football, minor b teams, under 14b teams etc - have no need to be played on an all county basis.

The old East Down Reserve league used to be on a Sunday night at 6pm. Being shorter treks, there never seemed to be as many DNF.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make it to an Ulster final, so I hope there is a lot of support on Saturday night.

Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come
