Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[trailer]

Yesterdays game has sparked a debate about the use of penalties to decide games. What ever the merits or otherwise  for its use in Intercounty games, I dont think it has any place deciding underage games. 
I see youth championship games in Tyrone all listed to be decided on the day withe extra time and penalties. Is this really necessary to put young lads through that?

It's called sport. Someone wins, someone loses. I don't get the whole penalties aren't fair thing. It applies to both teams, nearly every other comparable team sport has a sudden death scenario. part of the game.

we can't talk about burn out, calendars, off seasons etc and then complain about finishing on the day at the same time

Im not talking about penalties not being fair, I just feel that pressure on young lads u13/u15/u17 is unneccessary especially when there isnt the same retrictions on the calendar to get replays played

Wee lads soccer is decided by pens in event of a draw. U11s. There's always pressure and it is absolutely good for them. Not everyone wins at life and losing is part of it.

Round of league games on both the 15th and 17th july? Would that not be the one week in the whole calendar you would think would have no games let alone two  that's bound to be peak holiday season for club players surely

The CCC have absolutely no regard to the normal club player. Putting in a fixture on the 15th July in the prime holiday week period of the whole year is total disrespect in my opinion. Then they wonder why they always get a tough time from clubs and Gaels

There is no fixtures on the websitre past this friday as far as I can see.
Why only the one week break? surely this year we had a little more time to play with than previous years?

[Delb123]

Common sense would be to play the next 2 fixtures this Friday and next Friday the 8th and leaving the 15th free

as I stated before they have decided to start the u15 league on the 16th... brainless

If you click onto the league table then click onto your club you will see fixtures up until the end of the season not including championship obviously. Double round as Norf said on 29th and 31st July.

Common sense and CCC should not be in the same sentence or conversation

So on the 29th we have to play Strabane and then Castlederg on the 31st but Strabane don't have a game on the 31st. how is that fair?

And it's also not fair on Castlederg who have to travel to Brackaville on the Friday evening and then to us on the Sunday.

That's a very tough schedule for Castlederg in fairness.

They may book into the B&B at McGirrs in Coalisland for the weekend. Be cheaper than the diesel to get them up and down the road.

Definitely!

Even better, a bonding week-end down by the lough.

This is in regards to seniors and intermediate im told,the games called off last Friday as a mark of respect to Damien are now being playing on the 17th July. It seems to be common knowledge in my clubs WhatsApp group and the same applies to the teams we will play that weekend who also said they were told the same,I wouldn't like to be relying on the county board for some common sense but I think even they will see this is a bad idea

Thanks Square Ball. That's been wrecking my head how to find them!

Double fixtures on a Friday and Sunday are a serious physical demand on players. I'm not sure if there's any other sport where it would happen, although I could be wrong.

Final round of fixtures is September 2nd with the Ulster club kicking off November 6th. You would like to think the CCC would be giving teams a free week after the final league fixtures and before the 1st round of championship and having the championship final two weeks before the Ulster club. That only leaves 6 weeks to run off the Championship which you wouldn't want reduced much more. Not sure where else you would fit these games in.

Unfortunately the Friday night travel from one side of the county to another is a downside of the Friday night games. I think everyone prefers having the games on a Friday though as opposed to a Sunday?

According to the Tyrone website the double round of fixtures is on 29 and 31 July, not 15 & 17 July. The fixture for the 15th goes ahead as normal which is absolutely ridiculous as it is holiday high season for that 1 week each year
