When are the championship draws?

[BigGreenField]

St Galls +8 over Whitehill
Johnnies +2 at Glenravel
Dunloy +5 over Aldergrove
Bakers Boys to stuff St Pauls
St Brigids +4 over Lamhs
Creggan +6 at Rossa
Portglenone +6 in the derby
Cargin +4 in Armagh

Creggan clearing the 200 points score mark is some shooting for season to date. League etc etc

How did the cargin game finish? They were five up with a bit to go but haven't seen any update since.

Probably not many surprises in the games tonight.

4 in the end

Comfortable enough win for Cargin. Some head scratching around the referees interpretation of the new rules though. MR2 maybe you can clarify, does the ball have to go dead for full time to be blown or half time for that matter? Aggressively remonstrating with the ref still a black card or now a yellow card?

There's no hooter in club games, hell, there's no hooter in games in some intercounty championship games, so the ref blows when his time is up.. remonstrating aggressively is a black, but that is down to the ref's account of it, not the players or supporters, yellow cards generally given out to players if they continue to give dissent after the ball is moved..

I'm still explaining rules during games, I'm also questioning some calls also, so it's difficult

[Take the Mark]

So in club games when time is up the ref just blows it no matter where the ball is?

Surely when time is up hes meant to wait until the ball goes dead then blow, otherwise its a completely different rule

Explain?

The rulebook says the ref blows for full time when the ball goes out of play after the time is up, tonight the head of referees in Antrim blew for half time when one side were on the attack.

Think you are mistaking intercounty and club.. there's no hooter to signal end of game to allow the ball to be played out to end it..

The ref just blows the whistle when time is up, regardless of where it is..

I've not seen that done anywhere tbf

I could be wrong but that's been my take on it and no one has questioned it

[Take the Mark]

Oh, so the rules around time differ from county to club - I did not know that.

Yeah I think it's been primarily intercounty and only at grounds that have hooters.. there were games in some divisions that didn't have hooters so the game stopped as normal..

[Hectic]

It's a great rule for excitement when it's able to be implemented and 2 pts or less between sides at the end of a game.

[SaffronSports]

I think it's only in games that are live on tv which is a bullshit rule imo. Like when the FA Cup had VAR at Premier League grounds and not outside. Rules need to be consistent across the board.

Cargin have a very strong team out for this time of year. How many nailed on starters are missing?
