Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[GlenMan]

Seen details handed out to junior clubs during the week. With the new 3 and 3A structure, they are going for 8teams in 3 and 10teams in 3A. Surely that makes absolutely no sense? Why not 9 and 9? Instead the teams in 3 have 14 games and the teams in 3A have 18 games, including 5 in 15 days, with the last of those being 13 days out from the championship.

I appreciate organising of fixtures isn't easy, but this is a bit of a nonsense.

Did the clubs not play for 'top 8' last year to be in 3A? Can't just change that now because omagh is entering a 3rds team.

I get your point completely, but you have the perceived weaker teams playing a bagful of fixtures leading up to championship and the stronger teams not under the same pressure. Strikes me as being unnecessarily unfair, but maybe that's just me.

Just do 9 and 9. Had Omagh been in the division last year, that's what they would have done I'm sure.

All not well in Gortin. Full Committee stepped away!

They terminated the link with Glenelly against previous agreements between the two clubs. Didn't sit well with a lot within Gortin.

From what I hear it's the opposite. A group of parents totally against the link with glenelly and have forced the committee out because of it

they want their children to play for gortin only

Where they playing for Glenelly sides at underage level?

Gortin & Glenelly combined are Both Domhnaigh
none of those teams are in the latest minor gradings but the gradings appear strange - a lot of teams in Grade 2 and only 3 teams in Grade 4.

Mondays crisis meeting was a low point for our club. Some low blow comments made on the night. In the end up Thatcher Keenan and the rest of the committee walked. I hope more KC / Omagh lads join us to allow us to field on our own going forward.

How could a club ever survive after inviting prince charles to their pitch and making him tea and all. Disgraceful club.

Is this a serious post?

I don't think that is actually true. Wasn't it a men shed or community group? Scurrilous bullsh*t to say that

Unfortunately Wednesday 13th June 2018 was another low point in our clubs history. We invited Charlie & Camilla to a training session / meet & greet. Lest we forget the committee at the time for organising and allowing this to happen. Even worse the crowd of club members / players who shook their blood stained hands. The videos and news reports off the day will linger over the club forver.

I'm a bit mortified for you.

They visited Owenkillew Community Centre and there may have been some kids there who happened to be wearing GAA tops like most kids do these days.

That's my understanding. Certainly not an invite or official reception from Gortin GAA club

It says a girl who is a member of the GAA club. I can't imagine she was sent by the club and if was official representative would surely be the Chairman or other senior member. I don't rem any word at the time about that... would have been very controversial.

Dear members,

We regret to inform you that Glenelly GAC have decided to withdraw from the current amalgamation agreement following a meeting tonight Thursday 13/02/2025.

Our committee met on Tuesday 11/02/2025 and at that meeting we had a unanimous decision to continue to honour the current amalgamation agreement.
The reason for this decision was based on the committee wanting to have consultation with our members before making any significant decisions.

Following this, we engaged with Glenelly to indicate that we were keen to continue the amalgamation agreement for all age groups, both boys and girls.
 
A meeting was held tonight Thursday 13/02/2025 with both committees represented. At this meeting we reiterated our intentions clearly from the outset that we were willing to uphold the current agreement.  On conclusion of the meeting, Glenelly informed us that they were not in a position to amalgamate at any age group.
On departing the meeting, we wished them all the best for the year ahead.

We understand that this may raise questions, therefore we will host a discussion on Saturday 15/02/2025  at 10am at the club rooms for anyone who has any queries.

We are a newly formed committee and we will be preparing and regrouping for the future.

We thank you for your patience and your understanding as we navigate the new footballing year ahead.


Above is a message to the Gortin members from the new committee.

Did the previous committee not step down due to the pressure from a group of parents about not wanting to amalgamate at minor level? Now they get into positions in a new committee, and make the exact same decision they were against that started the whole issue. Only for Glenelly to tell them to clear to f**k!
You couldn't make that sh*t up!
