Fermanagh had initially decided to run a 18 Round League but they are now going back to the clubs to get their views before tomorrow Friday.
I wonder if the Cavan fixtures will be announced shortly and if there will be a full league with 13 games or will the split into 4 Divisions and have 9 league games before Championship commences. Any Thoughts?

Hopefully a split league like last year and then Championship. Leave from October onwards for the pubs

I think we have to have a full league as we need promotion and relegation this could be managed with about 2 midweek matches and these could happen from Mid June to mid July with evenings long an 8.00 throw in should be ok. All postponed games to be played on either of the next 2 Wednesday's available.
Hopefully the fixtures will be released this week.

I believe Round 1 fixture's will see team's from group A play team's from group B drawn at random with subsequent rounds following against the other team's in the designated group that your drawn in.

would they not have organised it a bit to have teams in the same region playing each other. Having swanlinbar, templeport, drumlane, and shannon gaels in the same group as maghera and kildallon, redhills, drung, in with munterconnaught and mountnugent.

Would it not made more sense to have shannon gaels, templeport, drumlane, kildallon, redhills, killeshandra, swanlinbar in the same group..

Any chance of a few Senior / Reserve fixture dates? Contrary to public opinion senior footballers try to organise a life around football.......
Bit of respect to our players would go along way

It is a total disgrace that the fixtures for this Friday, Saturday and Sunday just came out today. Every club should have their fixtures for the next 4 weeks Date Time and Venue AT ALL TIMES. managers and players need to plan their life and get off work for matches this is a ridiculous situation.
Does the County Board give a damn about the players or clubs?

Killygarry entered a team in Div3 and are now conceding games cause they can't field a team..seems a bit pointless entering a team if they are that tight for numbers, was it just another money grabber by the CB allowing it? Surely the likes of the Gaels and Ramor would have bigger numbers

re Killygarry, its a huge bugbear of mine when teams get to enter 2nd teams in lower leagues and then end up conceding fixtures. skews the league and leaves a team incredibly frustrated kicking their heels for a weekend. They should be kicked out immediately if they concede a game

Was talking to a Killygarry lad, they have 4 lads on county duty and some injuries. County board fixed their Division 1 and 3 matches for the same time. Didn't have the numbers to field two separate squads, not many teams in county could field two separate squads

Surely if Killygarry wanted to enter a 3rd team the idea is that they CAN field 2 teams the same day.
And they would have known they'd have at least 2 players on county duty so that excuse doesnt wash.

Ramors attempts to enter a 3rd team in the junior championship a few years ago was smacked down. They then entered the intermediate championship.
They eventually seen the light of day and are back to a senior and reserve team as normal.
