Anyone any idea who played in the challenge game today against Fermanagh?

Game ended in draw. Only team news I seen was Ciaran Bogue started for Tyrone which was strange given All Ireland club commitments

7 Starred Games and a May start (or after U20 campaign) for ACL in 2026 with reserves starting sooner.
I assume this also means 3 points for the 8 non starred games as was already voted by clubs earlier this year.

Biggest change in a long time to our leagues hard to know what to make of it. The 5 starred was leaving August a disaster couldn't of went on much longer. But 3 points weighted to the back half of the league could be extremely beneficial to certain teams over others, will just have to see how it goes in year 1

The biggest issue holding back the leagues is the insistence that no games can proceed without U20 players - which has had a real impact in the last couple of years. If clubs could agree to play 1 or 2 games without U20 players (and that's only an issue when Tyrone win the Ulster championship) then the leagues could get underway on time and run more smoothly.

7 starred games will give a fair run of games right through. To be fair Malachy last year released players that weren't getting game time in the senior squad which was welcome

The Division One league play-offs have now been scrapped as well with the team top after 15 games named league champions. Should end some of the needless delay at the end of the season.

Re Martin Sludden's comments at the County AGM 'However, he did caution that finding a better balance to the club calendar remained a significant challenge for the county and urged clubs to pilot new ideas, challenge old habits and help put players first.'

The task of the fixtures folk in Tyrone is very difficult and I think on the whole it's well done.

However why do we keep looking for the club's to find a way etc and be open to change?

It was not that long ago that Championship minor was straight knock out, now it's groups. U20 inter County football is the same and we are aware of how senior Championship has evolved over the last 20 years.

The GAA have warned re burn out over the years, but then added to the number of games.

Perhaps Tyrone, to help our own club calender, could campaign for a return to straight knockout at minor and U20 grade.

I had assumed the whole idea around the extra 2 starred games was to allow the league to start earlier and if the 20's went well then we play the starred games and start at the end of April - early May period.

We cannot be holding up the ACL due to U20's again....we don't even hold up the league for senior county albeit it is the starred game process we use.

Imagine the scenario whereby Tyrone Senior and U20 lose early in April - what do we do then? Wait until the designated start date in late May.

Club teams will have planned around the mid/late May start date and it would be unfair to suddenly say we are starting mid/end April if both county teams lose.

If the seniors get beat by Armagh on April 12, then they have a 5/6 week wait until their next game.....but still no club football. Crazy situation

Surely we use the starred games to compensate for both senior and u20 teams and start the ACL in mid-late April and continue with up to 7 starred games with a staggered schedule rather than week on week.

Be completely ridiculous to ask clubs to play without their Seniors and U20s. Be crippling for some clubs - Loughmacrory for example be down about 8 players.
You want to be playing football in the best months of the year - May, June, July, August and September - that is what we have. Can't understand the push to get playing in April.

Fair point on teams like the Lough etc who would be missing a lot of players. I accept that is not feasible then to play starred games without 20's.

However, imagine the scenario whereby the U20's don't progress far and the seniors lose to Armagh - do we then waste 4/5/6 weeks with no football because the start date is end of May?

So this all goes back to the fact that Tyrone have to push back to Croke Pk to bring U20 football back to straight knock out again.
