With the new restrictions does that mean that u17 intercounty will go ahead?
I take it thats senior leagues, reserve championships and hurling scrapped then?
Very tough on Clonduff but that is the hand we have been dealt with

Not sure on this one.. I think senior GAA is deemed elite level but U17s would still be children. What then for the u20 semi finals happening this weekend?? Because they are over 18 and playing at inter county standard with a few of them involved in their senior setups - are they deemed elite???

Seen on Twitter, Darren O'hagan and Harrison both out injured. Big blow to Paddy Tally that. Anybody see the new players called in named in Newry Reporter?
Darren is out long term which is a massive blow to down and clonduff

Shame that, hopefully he makes full recovery, he's probably one of the most under rated players in Ireland. Been consistently excellent for past 8 or 9 years.

Don't think he is under rated he just plays for a county not at the top table at present. His desire/heart/toughness playing for a Dublin, Kerry, Tyrone Mayo he would prob have at least one all star.. serious club player too. Darren is 30 now - the intensity he plays the game at - it could be difficult to see him back to his 100% best. Harrison is another blow - haven't really had much outta him at county level for a while now. Would they not be safer playing a young lad now In these two league games and v Fermanagh with one eye on the future??
That young lad O'Hare from Saul is a huge prospect and Conor Mc Crickard from laitroim - play them lads now..

What's the story with U19/U21?  Club championships looking unlikely?

Could they play an u20 competition in feb/March next year for clubs before the start of the senior leagues to give the players a chance to impress management and it could perhaps help county u20 management??

Managerial merry go round has started already with Burren and Dundrum management teams stepping aside during the week. Whoever takes the Burren role will have big pressure on their shoulders with this all conquering U17s team coming through and expected to challenge Kilcoo in the coming years.
I'd say there could be a number of changes in division one for 2021 with the exception of Carryduff, Kilcoo, Bryansford and Mayobridge..
Any other changes within Other clubs??
