Club Scene - what is the story in other counties?

More games this year in the League in Cavan. 18 games for each division. Every teams plays each other twice, home/away. League began in Feburay.

Would an early start to the club season be the norm in Cavan?

Armagh this year are opting for 4 divisions. Senior league of 16 teams who play each other just once, Intermediate league likewise. Junior A has 9 teams who play each other twice and Junior B has 8 teams who play each other twice.

It started last year in Feburay aswell. Other years it started in March, but no later than that.

They changed the format of the leagues this year, Division 1 was split into Divison 1A&B. Ten teams in each Division. Then Division 2 and 3, also with ten teams. All playing each other home/away. 40 clubs in Cavan,

Division 1 b, is made up of Senior Championship teams and intermediate teams.

The reserve leaguep's follow the same home/away format aswell.

Plus Cavan Gaels second team so thats 41 teams in the 4 divisions - there are 11 teams in Division 3 so they have 20 games

Reserve teams will only play 12 games this season but have a backdoor in their Championship

Cavan club fuball is fascinating and that is before even mentioning amalgamations

We play our club hurling in the Antrim leagues so our longest jaunt would be to Ballycastle at 80 odd mile one way and we've had to play them the odd time on a midweek evening up there.

Lack of games is my worry at the moment in Down. Our leagues have been restructured this year and my own club might only potentially have 18 games in total (league and championship).
I consider the playing season to have a 31 week window (start of April until end of October). There's definitely room for more fixtures.
The ridiculous thing is that the clubs in Down voted for these new proposals to go through.

We would jump at 13 games in Laois! Senior teams are guaranteed only 13 games a year between league and championship.

My club is junior and no league games until 18 April, only 11 in total, 2 games guaranteed in championship. To top it off many of the league games are midweek which is a f*cking disaster for lads in college and who work in Dublin.

My club is in a 10 team league who play each other only once.
So they are guaranteed just 11 competitive games - 9 league and 2 championship.
