That adds up a bit more. I didn't think we had a fielding issue.
That's disgraceful if that is how it panned out. Shows little respect for the lower tier either.
All these competitions are being run off on a week by week basis so there was probably no free slots and these lads would have had to isolate for 10 days.
Down now play Meath this Saturday with the final the following wednesday night.
Why not invite other lads into the panel? You'd be no worse off.
Full Celtic Challenge panel to bring lads in from
Was there not something about "tier 1" counties not being allowed to play lads in the Celtic Challenge and also the championship proper (Leinster in this case) ?
If they'd have pulled lads from the Celtic Challenge panel those lads then could no longer play in the Celtic Challenge..
Possibly but you would like to prioritise minor team over Celtic Challenge if you have the 2 teams. We only enter u17 Celtic Challenge, its our level
Derry aren't tier 1 and IIRC can play the same squad in both the Celtic Challenge and the respective championship.
Down have done it for a few years pre covid.
