I have heard that their better minors have been told to concentrate on Senior football and won't be playing minor.
How did Loughmacrory do last year at u 17 level. I see they are in the grade 2 at minor level this year
Maybe one of the down sides of running u16's early and u18's at the tail end.
Loughmacory with Donaghy and McElholm, Ardboe with Devlin, Donaghmore with Grimes, Hughes and Clarke, Omagh with Daly and Haigney, Fintona with Donnelly. All not playing minors to focus on Senior.
The problem is, if for example Loughmacory, dropping to division 2 might be fine missing those players. But when seniors finish and minor potentially still going at the knockout stage do those players then rejoin and create massively one sided games.
