Clean bill of heath for the opener this weekend ?

Na Glinntí Glasa

There was a meeting last night of the fixtures committee.

They still haven't released any dates or confirmation of anything yet.

Heard that they will allow 4 rounds of fixtures to be played out for underage leagues before they confirm whos in each respective championship.

After the messing last year of clubs chopping changing their minds to ask to go up or down they want to give clubs a few games to see where they are. Last year they had to redo them three times with the requests to move.

Havent see the master planner yet but expect to see something appear in February, much like last year, with the dates on them.

Thought I'd seen dates with the weekend of the 14th March?

Not a bad idea with the 4 rounds, but have to correct you - it was the CCC who made a balls of the underage draws last year. They sent out forms to clubs where they choose their level, A,B etc. They then ignored what level a good few clubs chose. Three draws it took them to do it right! Hoping lessons have been learned.

Some one did post that start date before St Patricks day but again there was nothing sent to the clubs to confirm this. I asked about it at our club meeting last monday night and they hadnt heard anything about potential starts for league.

It would make sense based on last year that D1 would start early again.

You would hope so. It would make sense to see where clubs are after a few rounds of league games and then see if the placement is right.

Did I hear that the county was asking clubs what division they were looking to play in? Those on the border between 1 and 2, anyone else?

Standard entry form that is done each year. Its the same for the divisional boards as well in North, South & South West Antrim.
