Had thought of him. He's one of those lads that has never played a senior club game before. Division 2 should be going ahead now at this stage and Cookstown should just have to play catch up.

Do the current club minors play their league without their County U17 players?

County minor games on a Saturday and club minor games on a Sunday usually. As a rule our lads on county u17 team played a part the next day for the club.

Somehow there seems to be more flexibility with u17s.

I don't advocate anyone playing 2 games in 24hrs but have to give some credit to minor management for allowing lads to make that choice based on how they feel.

A significant number of minor games have been played midweek and county U17s havent been allowed to play in them.

Yep. Think the county lads played maybe 5 or 6 games this year if it's the same for every club. Could be waiting weeks now to start championship so would expect a fair few friendly games for the minors

The penny needs to drop in Tyrone. Push on and get playing club football.

So if it is deemed ok for minor clubs to play away without their county under 17s, in a competition where unlike seniors there is no next year, then why is it deemed impossible for senior teams to play without county under 20s. Time everyone wised up.

Some big results in opening weekend in D3. Kyle Coney doing great work for Derrytresk and beating Drumragh. Strabane getting turned over by Glenelly also a surprise.

That's some mgmt team Derrytresk have.. not sure they have the squad depth to challenge though

Is it just Cookstown in Division 2 that has lads on the u20 team/first few subs?

Cookstown, Kildress, Beragh and Aghaloo

County Minors not allowed to play with their club for Midweek games. Games/training Saturday and tehnically released to play games on Sundays.
Club Minors is now on hold but until the County season finishes - The All Ireland Minor Final is down for 5th July and then counting the July break the Minor season might not resume until 15th July for league knockouts and championship. U16 season not starting until Minor competition is completed.

Would he have played any club minor at all this season?

No, I dont think him or Peter Colton have played a minor club game this year which isn't right in my view.

Who is all involved in the set up? That was a good start to the season for the Hill

What is the plan for senior football now? 29th May? Would be latest start to a season ever. Madness.

Think going forward from next year club senior football needs to start regardless of Tyrone U-20s. County Board needs to show leadership on this issue.

I can't understand the grief the county board gets about this, it is the county committee made up of all club delegates that decided no club ball until U20"s are over, certain clubs refuse to play without their U20's, the CB can't overrule the wishes of the clubs at county committee level. It is these clubs that need to be held accountable or else the full league set up needs changed, the county board put options to clubs about this but proposed changes got shot down. It looks like senior league won't start until 5th June
