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.

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!

Are you going to share these?

[scout]

I would have thought the Friday night fixtures appeased 95% of players, supporters etc.

Would think reverting back to Sundays would be terrible decision.

Sighting referee shortage as the reasoning. It was originally sold that each division would take turn on playing a Sunday round, but unsure of what way they have planned out the schedule as Intermediate are Sundays for the first three rounds.

If it's due to referee shortages then the teams not supplying referees should be the teams that play their games on Sundays.
Going by the County Convention booklet you have Brackaville, Derrylaughan, Edendork and Rock all with no referees in the mens game, those teams should have all their games moved to Sundays regardless of who they are playing and how many referees the other team have.

After that there are 21 clubs who only supply 1 referee, games involving two teams with only one referee each should also be moved to a Sunday.

It will take a bit of work to sort out at the start of the year. But will soon give the clubs who don't promote refereeing within their club a kick up the hole.
