These fixtures replaced for a stand alone saturday fixture, could possibly be a starred game.That was always inevitable.

Hard to get rid of knocks or niggles in such a short turnaround.

Over this past couple of years It's probably worth noting that Trillick how get out of the blocks early to secure their senior status but never seem to make the league play-offs. It must be very frustrating for the players, management and supporters to see these early league title aspirations fade away when the starred games begin prior to the Ulster championship. I see Monaghan club teams get 5 points for a win with their full complement of players and less for starred rounds. What are the thoughts on the Tyrone leagues following the Monaghan approach of awarding more points for games that are not starred and less for the starred rounds?
I cant understand why they would release these fixture number of weeks ago, just to pull them now.Thats the frustrating thing for the club players.
I personally would really like to see sunday freed up, the reserve + senior fixture on the one day should be done away with as well as with other counties.Even if they kept it the same but moved the games to 13.00 and 14.15 at least it would be better.

Younger lad who want to go out on a Sat night for a few beers and older players with families who want to do something with the kids on a Sunday

I think 99% of players would be happy with the talk of one Saturday fixture.And 99.9% would love all fixtures to be Saturday full stop.
