The Gweedore Glenties game has been cancelled due to involvement of U21 County players. The first weekend and already it has started.

Think Gweedore have about 7 u21's involved in the squad for Wednesday night against Tyrone. But similar to what the Louth poster said, the date of this fixture has been set in stone for months. The county board definitely knew there would be a good few Gweedore lads involved. Sometimes the lack of foresight within the GAA is mind boggling.

If county players cared about their clubs they should just withdraw from the county teams and play for their clubs until its sorted . We cant have the situation where relegation / promotion is affected by unavailability of clubs main players . Finsceal (None) - Posts: 559 - 10/03/2017 09:51:35 1965886 Link 0 |
This happens every year and if you ask me its getting worse by the year. In monaghan, there is only 4 'star' games (games in which county players cant play a year) so when these 4 games are used up if the county is still going there might not be a club game played for months on end. In 2015, after Monaghan won Ulster there was still Senior league games being played at the start of December. God forbid if we ever got to an All-Ireland final (Luckily, we probably never will).

I think Gweedore threatened to withdraw all their players from the county if the game was not cancelled.

The fact that League games were run off in December in Monaghan is another example of county boards being at fault in not efficiently running their competitions and nothing to do with Monaghan's participation in the Championship. My own County have been involved in playing football in August for a good number of years and yet still manage to have the League final played by the second week in August. I have often been critical of the Kildare County Board but in relation to the League fixtures they must get credit where credit is due. The fixtures are set out beforehand with allocated weekends free such as Easter and the June and August Bank Holiday weekends.
