Antrim Football Thread

Staying at odd numbers for this season.

And move to even next year?

Was that discussed?

Yes

Well I hope all three options were thoroughly debated because a lot of young lads underage careers have just been cut short tonight, which is a sad outcome in my opinion.  For many, they'll probably just pack it in now.

Should never have been changed in the first place.. I've never seen the actual benefits of changing it.

Moving from under 17 to senior is a big step nowadays

The Chair & Secretary basically denied the existence of  option 3. Ten minutes later, the Central Council delegate ( think hes Terry Reilly) informed county committee that option 3 was on the table ! Christ Almight ! Think he-'ll be next chair !
Also some confusion about  Reserve Football fixtures being played on a Sunday. You couldnt make it up tbh !!!

With Antrims board you probably could

Cahair O Kane reporting on twitter

' Armagh go back to U18s with immediate effect. Antrim clubs
have voted to remain at U17 for this year, reverting to U18 next year. Clubs in Antrim chose in the end not to include option 3, allowing 18-year-olds to play adult, as part of the final vote.'

If there's a stupid way of doing something Antrim will find it. At odds with the vast gaa opinion on this matter

What grades will be played on which days?

What grades will be played on which days?

Well based on tonight from top table -  minor, reserve and senior are on a Sunday in football and hurling ( hopefully on alternate weeks)

[realisticsaff]

So any kid who turned 17 last year might aswell pack it in then? Depressing really

Suppose you had to be there to hear the ins and outs of it, hard to fathom how Armagh are able to do change back and not decouple an 18 year old from senior football yet we can't find a way. Other counties just seem so much better at everything than us.

Minor is U17 for 2023 so lads in 18th year will be able to.play in adult competitions in 2023, surely

We now seem to have a self appointed Bourgeoise sub committee making all the decisions within the County with Casement or whatever they eventually have to call it and whenever it's eventually built being the prize.

Either we got more referees or they will be doubling up on Sundays!

What's this about?

I see someone becoming more and more involved with Antrim Gaa & im not overly surprised,  a strategic decision I'm guessing that was made with as you say Casement as the prize, for his other main job...........
