If it's now good enough for the pubs to open as normal North and South it's good enough for the GAA also.
Will you abstain from attending matches the next few days then? ;D

You're adding further embarrassment onto us in what has been a difficult week.

Is there something going on this week? Business as usual for me.
I recall when easter Sunday used to host league semi finals back in late 80s early 90s. It may have just been acoincidence the dates fell that way though.

underage club yes, rest no.
Tradition in Derry for years was to play hurling féile Easter Sunday morning, if anyone knows Derry city you will know our obsession with caravans and Donegal. We always had at least 5 lads out Easter Sunday, country teams didnt seen to take Easter hols. Bit much asking seniors even to be rocking boat at home for a game if you have young wains. I always refused to play Easter Sunday because of the family(and i was afraid of the mrs)

Shes a star but i know who is boss
Does good friday even feel like good friday anymore remember the police used to have to go into pubs that back in the day when people actually went to pubs on friday afternoons
Good Friday was always great craic in the pubs, bus loads of Mexicans up as they were still living under the iron fist of a church run government, police let us at it in Cross and the town was bouncing all night!
Play away over the holiday, in fact make a big day of it, make a week of it in fact!
Big loss for tomorrow night.
Fr Brian ruled out
I would think it's the first Fermanagh Ulster Championship game he has missed in a long long while

Pity, he might bring Fermanagh some divine inspiration to beat Tyrone.
Was the pubs in the north closed to like 5pm or something then had to close again at 11.

Can remember going to a league 1/4 final on Easter Sunday 1995 to see Tyrone beat Kerry at Croke Park.
Tyrone also beat Fermanagh at the semi-final stage on Easter Sunday 2003. Again at Croke Park.
I agree though that there shouldn't be club underage on Easter week. My daughter has an underage game on Tuesday ffs, no real thought for families who might want to go away for a day or 2 at the start of next week.

I wouldn't miss out on a holiday just because of an underage game so early in the season.
Loads more games ahead.
Mad to think that parents might freeze their holiday plans around juvenile GAA league games.
Priorities are different for everyone I suppose.
Full programme of Co League (D1,2 &3)games in Roscommon this weekend.
U15 league also today.

Is that your main meal or just a collation?
Get in the stations of the cross and you're almost there for a plenary indulgence.
Might have to give the graveyard a bit of a visit though.

Just back from a bad Div 3 league game, and turned on the Late Late.
I think that counts as penance...

i dont think that is what we are saying,an Easter egg hunt around the caravan site in the Downings doesn't constitute a religious gathering

Our club has a Mass each year to remember our members who have died, but it's in the local chapel.

Beautiful spot The Downings
I don't know what connection there is between religion and the easter bunny
Having any religion involved in a club is not inclusive
easter never really seem big here maybe its just me but christmas seems far bigger.

Nothing wrong with that.
Mass or other religious services shouldnt be held in gaa clubs.
