Are these fixtures confirmed? Are they all Starred  fixtures....?

Few senior clubs with county men have got the raw end of the deal if these fixtures are confirmed....

Fianna with 4 county men play Clonoe & Ardboe who have none plus Killyclogher who have 1 - hardly fair

Edendork (4 men) play Ardboe & Moortown with no men plus Carmen with 1 man - again very unfair

Eglish (3 men) play Galbally & Clonoe who both have none - not fair either

Donaghmore (4 men) play Galbally with none, Clarkes with 1 and Killyclogher with 1 - unfair again

Lough (4 men) play Clonoe with none and Dromore with 1 - again unfair

Surely there is a cluster of teams with 3+ county men - is the obvious thing not to have them all play each other for the starred game system.

There must be a reasonable explanation for these games above but I simply can't see how it is fair.

Teams getting punished for having county men is not fair

Any predictions this year men for league winners/relegations?

The Bearded One

Rumblings that the CCC are looking to start leagues early (this weekend??) if u20s lose on Wednesday night.

I'm not sure how they can move from saying the earliest start will be 8th May to let's start now sure everyone.
It is what it is. Presumably.

This was the plan sent out at the start of the year, below. I think if the u20s get beat this week they could probably go for Friday 24th/sunday 26th? that might be fair enough

The commencement of the 2026 ACL will be dependent on the progression on the County Under 20
Team in their Provincial/National Campaigns.
The earliest through to latest start date options for Divisions 1, 2 & 3A are as follows:
Friday 1st May (Under 20 Ulster Semi-Final 22nd April)
Friday 8th May (Under 20 Ulster Final 29th April)
Friday 15th May (Under 20 AI Semi Final 9th/10th /13th May)
Friday 22nd May (Under 20 AI Final 16th/17th/20th May)

Teams have been training from January - If they are not ready to play a match by this stage then.....

Tell me you either don't play any football or haven't in 20 years without telling me...

  • Injured players to look after
  • Meetings on strategy around any potential fixtures
  • Kickout work on specific teams
  • Lads needing away early from work to get over an hour across the county
  • Booking of Physio/medical teams for fixtures
  • Referees needing away from work for the same friday fixtures
  • Fields needing lined and or cut
  • fields needing booked depending on fixture clashes etc
  • teams with stags weddings etc not planning to play for the next few weeks


it would be very easy to list many more reasons why dropping games in with a handful of days notice doesnt work.

Keep that crap rhetoric for the barstool QB

Jerome

Makes no odds, everyone is in same boat so start it this weekend or first weekend in May it is a level playing field.

Clubs that have more county players than other clubs have always had that disadvantage which is why the county board have brought in the new rule this season that a win in a starred game is worth 2 points but a win in a non starred game is worth 3 points.

Surely that seems fair?

The problem with that rule change is the effect it is has on when you play teams.
For example in Senior Clonoe play Moortown for 2 points but Coalisland play them later for 3 points. That point could make the difference in the relegation picture come the end of the season.

Only way that 2/3 point system works really is if everyone plays each other home and away.

Clubs with county players should be playing other clubs with county players and if there is a 1 or 2 disadvantage then that can't be avoided.

But to ask clubs with 3/4/5 county men to play clubs with none it is just not fair - plain and simple.

There are quite a few clubs in Tyrone with 3+ county players. Surely the obvious thing to do is to have them play each other in the starred series and therefore any possible disadvantages are at a minimum.

Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment but I would love to have home and away fixtures at the top grades. seemed to work for division 3 a & b last year.

lads end up training from before Christmas anyway so why not start the games in February and get 6 months of good football in instead of training for longer than most seasons last.

16 league games from 1st February till now would have you playing until the end of may which is when we aim to start our games anyway as long as the u20's are successful.

take a break between 1st set and 2nd set of games. 2-3 weeks.

reserve games would be as they are now in my opinion with only home/away fixtures played not both.(these would be played in the 2nd set of fixtures from may onwards)

 would help bleed players into senior teams around the county but still guarantees football for those lads that are past it or a bit green for senior football.


you can talk about player welfare etc and those are all valid points but ask any player in the country would they rather be dragged to donegal for a friendly or a run up some god forsaken mountain... any of them would take the game that means something.

There is the potential for that but overall grade size would need reduced to 12 or split to two sections of 8 teams. 30 league game is not sustainable and pitches don't allow for a start before April.

probably only work if restructured to 4 divisions. there's 51 teams now with Cookstown 3rd's so maybe could have:

1 - 13 teams
2 - 13 teams
3 - 13 teams
3A - 12 teams

It's pretty much the league structure that was in place from 1999 - 2007 with home and away games and with county men not available for the 1st half of the season. Only works though too if Tyrone are knocked out early enough.

Championship numbers would stay the same as is.
