Refs have been appointed for all senior games on Friday so all must be going ahead

Sorry I just checked and the Fins game tonight is not on, this will be a shit show

Disgraceful comment and rightly removed.

Carryduff seems to be going in the right direction, their B and C team in the final of A reserve leagues next week. They are a massive force in the county.

U20 game now postponed on Saturday so a full list of fixtures will go ahead on Friday..

Truth hurts · July 19, 2021, 03:43:51 PM

all players allowed to play in it?

Smurfy, why could your B and C teams not field at the weekend? Are the players back playing soccer now? Tougher sanctions are needed on clubs who continually do not field in reserve games. If you are not going to play then don't enter a competition. The CCC splits reserve into cup, shield, and plate so everyone has a chance of some silverware but some teams their nose up at it.

A stag and the county board wouldn't put it off finals had to be played this weekend

As I said leagues are going to be a disaster
First game off tonight
Auglishnafin who have 1 player that played a combined 20 minutes for the 20s now off.
What about the other 45 lads who miss out tonight?
What happens them?
Now I certainly don't blame auglisnafin for getting it off

So the Down under 20s game moved to Friday the 30th and rightly so
But it creates all sorts of problems for the Down fixtures
Round 2 now will be cancelled and with matches Monday it can't move to then
I see Attical and Saval off because of covid.
The county board need to make a statement very soon

Smurfy123 · July 19, 2021, 08:52:50 PM

Liatrom v Shamrocks also postponed tonight
Time for the leagues to be scrapped
Will we even get a championship

2 out of 5 games played last night in the 3rd tier, that is not like a real league. This biggest threat to our leagues is going to be covid cases as the cases are rising in the community and are going to get worse. There is only one option for the county board to take and there would be no yapping from any club. Let the games commence on Friday.

Few more games called off on Friday already due to COVID cases in some clubs. Genuine question do we think the leagues will be finished this year?

They would if there was no relegation.
