Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[GetOverTheBar]

If lads have any sense next year they'll book their stags/holidays for July or August and they will miss f**k all football.

Is there any flexibility when fixtures are arranged for a club to request a "free weekend"? It it would probably be too hard to get the fixture list to work if you have 16 teams each submitting a request but it might be worth considering. I am thinking of weddings in particular.   I know there are 2 weeks in July which are free but I'm not sure how far in advance clubs know exactly what date this applies to?

Once the CCC set the fixture, it's set. Unless the two clubs agree and the CCC accept thereafter.

I actually think its got to the stage where there is a case for saying, ok lads, there will be no club football at all for 4-6 weeks from the beginnning  of July untill the end of the super 8s ( if Tyrone get to the AI final, or semi final, this will obviously be longer)
Play away at the league up to that and use all 5 starred games
Take a break during the super 8s and come back end of August with the business end of the league and then the championship September

At least players and clubs know there will be a guaranteed 4 week break in the middle of the year and plan accordingly, giving room for weddings, stag weekends, holidays, club fundraisers etc.
We end up having this type of break or longer as it is anyway, just without any sort of pre warning at all, making it very very frustrating fro all involved

If they did that, and then Tyrone were beat in the first round of the Qualifiers, they'd have even more bother with Clubs, Players etc having made other plans.

You boys make it sound like you can stroll in and book a wedding on the exact dates you want, for the prices you want, when you want.

A wedding in late August/Sept/Oct is much, much less expensive than July. Assuming you even have the availability of the venue your fair lady wishes...

Maybe a case of what goes around comes around for Augher. I heard they refused to change their derby with Clogher, their request was to play it at any other time that didn't clash with the full round of fixtures, later in the evening or Friday night. So I suppose how do you expect to be accommodated when you have refused to be accommodating previously yourself.

word on the street is that Loughmacrory are conceding the game over the weekend. if they are going into div 1 they want to bring silverware with them

Newtonstewart will stay up imo.

If they can survive this relegation dog fight they will be in a strong place for next season. With them and Dregish joining forces youd imagine they will find themselves in Div 1 the following year.

Ignoring the bold because they will never be in Division 1. Does a new club (St Eugenes) not have to start at the bottom?? So in other words, is there any point in Newton trying to stay up as they have to go to junior level next year as a new club??? Or am i completely doating?

You might be.

If Newtownstewart stay up I assume this new amalgamation will stay in division 2? I remember when Clan na Gael formed they started life in division 3. Though maybe those clubs that joined were already in division 3? One for Fionntamhnach to answer maybe.

First, thanks GWC.

Secondly IIRC both Dunnamanagh & Aughabrack were playing at Junior level when they amalgamated to become Clann na nGael, so there was never any debate as to what division or grade they would start in. Usually in most cases concerning sports competitions, if an amalgamation between two or more clubs or teams occur where said clubs would otherwise compete in different leagues or grades the following season, the newly amalgamated side would compete in the highest league or grade one of those teams would have competed in that season, essentially as a "successor" team as that team has not effectively withdrawn from competition. So if NTS were to be in a position to remain in Division 2 & Intermediate for 2020, I'd be 99% certain the new "Naomh Eoghain" would simply take their place, while Division 3 & Junior would be reduced to 16 teams (assuming the inclusion of EC3).
