I see they have a fundraiser currently on going, must be to fund there next appeal.

Teamtalk report that Greencastle have won their appeal and will play in Divison 1.

Are we allowed to play suspended players now?

Staggering that

Be interesting to hear the reasoning of the DRA decision, was it a technicality or lack of evidence or what...?

Again just from talking to other ones so this not confirmed, apparently kildress never had permission to record the game so the evidence was thrown out and without that video there was no case

Wouldn't be surprised if stewartstown walk it, very strong. Breezed past ulster league

Surely a few men bound to be thinking it's time to pack it in? No game time for a lot of men so far and next few games are must win so they probably won't get game time.

SportJoe GAA released a post about greencastle referring to the incident. They stated they have been deducted 2 points (for the kildress game for they are only team with concrete evidence he actually played) and the league had now been given to Aghyaran. Link to article below 👇

What do you mean kildress released footage or are you saying they leaked it in bad blood

Again big word here is apparently. That's the story I've heard from a few

Again it's all talk and stories but I've heard apparently there was no evidence until kildress released the footage of their game vs greencastle. He played against them, from this I think other teams in d2 realised he played against them also.

This ordeal with greencastle will be some craic. Effects teams who were promoted(gcastle), who missed out on promotion(yarn)  and also teams that were relegated to d3 (aghaloo).

The Friday evenings games seemed to work well especially during those long May/June evenings - It meant that players could enjoy their weekends with families & friends

Going by the county fixture calendar my guess is that its going to be either the beginning or mid May ACL start.  There are 7 teams in intermediate with Co representation (Aghayaran, Clogher, Edendork, Eglish, Galbally,Pomeroy, Owen Roes), then 12 Teams with Co representatives in Div 1 with Moy, Omagh & Loughmacrory, Killyclogher only having 1 each with Clonoe, Greencastle, Moortown having none. I wonder will the CCC go for a 6 starred game option this year or will it revert back to the 5? Will we see the reintroduction of pre-season competitions like the Jim Devlin/McGarrity cup? Will we know anything before the end of February?

Worked well for senior players not reserves. Reserve football was a shamble last year. Players trying to get out of work and to a certain location for 6.45, usually required to be there at 6 for w warm up. I know in my own club of few players that had to miss games due to work

Darragh sure picks up alot of injuries doesn't he. Quite unfortunate

Yeah he's been plagued with injuries the whole way up through underage.

Any clubs out yet?

Haven't heard of anyone but im sure gym programs will start within most clubs in next 1-3 weeks. If any club is out running and training at this stage it would be complete overkill, players will be sick of it come may/june

are there any more players leaving the panel, other than Ronan O'Neill, Michael Cassidy and HP McGeary? a previous comment says Paul Donaghy has walked, is anyone aware of others? i assume that each player who leaves will be replaced by the time the national league comes round. at a minimum there'll be 4 new faces so far.

Heard Tiarnan McCann had left too

He's on the fence apparently.

If Aghyaran are successful in any form of appeal it will open a can of worms in Division 2. If the lad concerned played against any other team and those games had a direct bearing on the teams relegated (which it's bound to if he did play) they will also appeal I'm sure. Could be about to get very messy if true.

Or County Biard will just dismiss any appeals knowing the shit show that could follow...

There is a 3 day time limit on objections based on the validity of a team.

I was basing my reply of Tyrone11234s post. If what you're saying is true then that's that, too late to do anything about any indiscretion now.

So basically any club can break any of the rules and hope that the opposing club does not report them within 3 days?
They done it more than once and knew what they were doing!
So much for a club's integrity when that is their approach!

The U17 rule is ridiculous anyway and I'm sure that most Clubs in the county will have played/subbed on lads that age throughout the league (senior or reserve).

If the clubs involved weren't bothered at the time, then it makes sense that they shouldn't be allowed to object now just because greencastle won the league.

It's been common practice in reserve football for years to go under the name of another player who is the correct age.

Think we're reading to much into it lol. First game of the season with a lot men getting there first taste of county football and men probably still in recovery mode from holiday. That is also a very strong Cavan team being used tonight. Results not great but wouldn't take much heed.
