Antrim Football Thread

I am sure this is information your club secretary will have sure you all have it   

What a shitshow by the GAA.  (Irrespective of what antrim have done !)

Option 3, which ones have been questioning, came with a lot of stipulations that probably provided more hassle than its worth. When it was eventually brought to the table was it then discussed?

She didn't attend it funnily enough, was chatting to her at a club game on Sunday so knew she wasn't there, hence why I'm asking the experts here

3. Alternatively, a county that wishes to organize competitions at even age grades only (12/14/16/18) may do so, and retain decoupling at 17 with at least one further age grade (as suits the particular needs of the County) being organized between U18 and Adult. Players in their 18th year will only be allowed to play for or train with Adult teams post March 1st and once the signed consent of the player, their parents/guardians and the Club Executive has been provided. The Task Force also recommends that no player should have to play an Adult and U18 game within 60 hours of each other and request County CCC's to adhere to this policy.


A recommendation is not an enforceable rule so in theory there's nothing to stop an 18yo playing an adult game the following night or two nights after a minor game or vice versa.

County CCC's would find it hard to know if this recommendation was enforced or not, Croke Park know that and are probably covered by this ambiguity.

So wouldn't effect the likes of insurance and so on if a lad is hurt?  Or burnt out

Hearing that 2 x Lavey Downeys are training regularly with St Brigids (who have been back out for six weeks at least) and that the transfer request is now officially in the hands of St Brigids club. Club members apparently at odds whether or not to accept them is what I've been told.

Heresay....but the source is usually on the money.

Was there a transfer deadline date? I know that because on the system you can see any pendings

Intercounty transfers need to go through the Ulster Council IIRC.

Wonder did Lavey sign off on them as well.

So county minor then is still under 17

Yes county minor stays u17

There is no deadline date on intercounty transfers. They are agreed all year ! There is a 10 day turn around once the application is submitted , subject to no objections!

Not that Im aware off, but you can only make one transfer per year. ie  you can only play in one county championship per calendar year

Broken jaw, getting surgery on Friday -  plate inserted and rewired. The ball he won that resulted in that was probably 70/30 against him. That's Dermot... twice in two years!

Out for 8 to 10 weeks, Tailltean Cup at best from an Antrim perspective.

That's shocking, speedy recovery hopefully. Yes he's definitely fearless in the tackle
