That is permissible under current regulations

Yeah, just such a shame that they had to travel that far to get a game, was hoping wed have come into line with the south in this area. Fair play to them, shows some commitment to travel that for a challenge game

With the current  SF -DUP standoff   I think it has been put on the long finger !

R antrim the only county in thr north to cancel Cul Camp This year? Always a great event for attracting youngsters to our gamEs. U would have thought by August you could have done something and Gaelfast must be back soon with furlough ending soon

[BigBallWeeBall]

Don't know what's going on re CulCamp in other counties but agree with decision not to hold in Antrim. Too much at stake for everyone involved. Staffed mostly by volunteers, can't see these guys running around in PPE and Galefist still likely to be furloughed

What are u talking about Bin Ball? Kids training has been allowed since end of June with no PPE in sight!! Full senior matches next week too with no mention of PPE - have you been asleep for a few weeks?? Summer schemes with Smaller groups are being advetised left right and centre

[BigBallWeeBall]

Love your enthusiasm BF GAA but you're over optimistic. Stay Alert and think safety first. Normally 100 kids go to CulCamp, who'd be responsible for taking care in your club. Perhaps 200 weans would be interested as majority holidays are cancelled.  Most serious clubs have PPE, sanitisers etc readily available. I hope that's not the typical approach of city clubs, if it is then please hand yourselves in. You're adopting a light touch approach to Covid19 and any slip up at your club could be catastrophic with the minimum impact being a 2 week self isolation period for the entire club and perhaps others. 3 clubs isolated in Cork this wee. Wise up

Tyrone not doing them either.

Neither are Down thankfully.

Any information anywhere on juvenille games guidelines

With u16 & Minor games starting over the next few weeks

What are the guidelines for travel to away fixtures ?

I assume each player has to make his own way .. No lift sharing unless from the same family ?

Are family members who supply the lift allowed into the home teams ground ?

Are family members who supply the lift allowed to watch the game ?

If they are not allowed into the ground or to spectate are they expected to just park on the road and wait for a few hours (obviously depends on how far away the game js)

Has anyone seen or got guidelines on this ?

Has anyone seen or got guidelines on this ? YES Antrim released them earlier and had a presentation last night I think on this exact subject.

Hope that clears it up for you. Crazy to think that any juvenile activity was going to be realistic with the current restrictions.

Thanks NAG1 Appreciate that

I can see the benefits of juvenille activity and that the 5 or 6 games will be good for general health and well being but given the current situation are the benefits outweighed by the logistical issues of transport and the boredom for the parent plus the although reasonably limited health risk

Crazy that hundreds of parents will be travelling around the country sitting on country roads for a few hours though

You could have 20 parents driving from Dunloy/Rasharkin/Glenravel to Aghagallen/Aldergrove/Glenavy or similar (circa 4 hours give or take for travel and game)

The 20 away parents could be 5-10metres apart 2-3 metres from the sideline   It would kill the boredom

At least the home team parents could go home for an hour

Crazy - the parents could go to the local pub or cinema while they are waiting for their kid 

[Belfast GAA man]

I see John Horan IS complaining with about only 200 of a crowd at games in the 26 and no mention of no crowds allowed in the 6 counties.
He needs reminded we are a 32 couNty organisation
