I see a SW motion to bring minor football back to divisional boards - I see a lot of FTFs in the all county league this year - not a good sign...

Emigrate? From Ireland? On account of killings in Gibraltar? Don't understand that?
Probably the killing of those army corporals that followed. That was hard to watch. I was sick to my stomach.
That didn't happen at a gibraltar funeral, it happened at the funeral of someone who Michael Stone had killed, at a gibraltar funeral, 3 days earlier. Given that context, its not hard to understand why tensions were running high, and it is hard to understand why they went in there - showboating according to former colleagues. Definitely hard to watch though.
The Gibraltar executions and the chain of events that sparked was probably the first time the news really grabbed my attention. I would have been 7.
I would have recollections of bits and pieces of stories and events before it (the 86 world cup for example), but when all that was going on , i was really aware that it was big in the context of our country.
Probably the darkest period in the history of the North.

MOTIONS
1.
O'Donnell's GAC would like to make an amendment to the County Bye-law 19.1.C from
A player who has played with a club at any grade from under 12 to under 18 (minor) grades in Championship or League may only transfer to another club if the player's family residence has changed to the catchment area of the club he wishes to be transferred to.
To Read
A player who has played with a club at any grade from under 12 to under 16 grades in Championship or League may only transfer to another club if the player's family residence has changed to the catchment area of the club he wishes to be transferred to.
2.
O'Donnell's would like to add the following to Bye Law 19.2
Any player returning to their club after having had a playing permission the previous year cannot seek a transfer for the coming year provided their parent club is fielding a team at the respective age group in which the payer is eligible to play.
3.
To grant CCC unilateral power to rearrange fixtures where a previously
unforeseen clash of league and championship fixtures across codes would
otherwise lead to one or more teams being treated unfairly.
4.
That the All County Minor (or Under 17 if applicable) football league revert back to the divisional boards.
5.
St Brigids GAC wish to replace the current Ulster GAA bye-law relating to the provincial Club Hurling Championships to read as follows:
To participate in the Ulster Hurling Club Championship at any level (with the current exception of Lisbellaw). A club must have taken part in a club championship within their own County in the competition year.
A Club that has previously won an Intermediate or Junior Championship shall not participate for one year at the grade after their previous win.
A county board must apply to Comhairle Uladh for regrading if necessary.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Not worth the paper they are written on.

Haven't seen them yet tbh PJ. Must be due out soon.
Good read in today's IN. Highlights just how precarious the situation was when they took over. No exaggeration to say Antrim GAA was on its knees. What has been done in two short years has been nothing short of excellent.
The finances are returned in surplus, Dunsilly project further developed, business community on board, credibility established at provincial and at Croke Park, a Belfast regeneration programme, Casement Park social club fulfilling its potential, a chartered accountant as our treasurer, and Casement Park project going through the processes.
Now that SV has put their foundation in place the next few years should see even further progress, which hopefully will include improved structures in coaching and games development amongst others.
Should they get back in
with all the negative PR coming from the usual suspects I'd be surprised they get one vote...

The Vice Chair? No, he wasn't on CB before 2015 convention.
Meant Co Comm and sub committed.....
He sat on disciplinary committees before.
Whoever is in charge of the media campaign deserves a pat on the back.
Suprised they've not stolen Trumps slogan, "MAGA". Make Antrim great again.
Getting away from the politics of it, has anybody saw a list of motions yet? Potential league changes?
Surely your club delegate has all that info

Aghagallon?
No disrespect of course.
Yeah Aghagallon. A few good minors and Un21s there. A system of play which suits all players and has been worked on over a few season.
Well, we finally won an U21 after many attempts.
Build...keep building...put roof on.

I'm not being negative, just noticed how BrendanBelfast & yourself have been flat out as last few days.

Lol PJ. Serious amount of negativity going on. To be honest if I was a board man I would really have to wonder if it's worth it.
I'm totally neutral and I mean that, and hands up say certain things can be done better. But for the sake of balance, especially around convention time, it's only proper that credit is given where it's due, particularly when 99% of gaels in the county haven't a clue what's really going on.
