Replying To Seanfan:  "2 years ago the County CCC produced fixtures list in mid July which was great.
That Co Board website is a disaster."
Well said. An absolute disaster and we the supporters have to suffer. Results posted aloften 24/48 hrs after the games. Like many things in Roscommon GAA this needs improvement. It's not a hard job to design and put in place a decent website.

And good luck trying to make out the results now with the club crests taking over the slot, very hard to figure it out. Looking through the underage results or fixtures, they have them all together, no segregation for divisions. Very hard make out the tables or anything on it. It's really not fit for purpose. There's no updates on it for any news or anything

Unfortunately those emails fell on deaf ears as 7 club games remain on Sunday 2nd clashing the ladies All-Ireland intermediate final in Croke Park.

Fair enough about not being able to move the date, as players have known for months and would have planned scheduled their weekend around it and late notice change, etc. But surely all games still start at 11am and everybody would still be at least able to watch the game on TV and still have no plan/schedule interupted. Big red card for me.

Not often Ros are in All-Ireland Finals, should be no games clashing with this. Even tomorrow, it's a joke that there are Hurling Championship games clashing with the Minor Girls All-Ireland Final. Could those games have been moved to tonight or an early Sunday double header like 11am & 12:30pm?

Have it from a good source St. Faithleachs requested to move their game to the Monday but Castlerea refused. Castlerea well within their right to do so but should have been changed by the county board as soon as ladies final was announced . St. Faithleachs have a player on the ladies panel and very unfair on all sides for club members who want to attend both games.

I'm lucky enough I get to watch my club team play championship and also attend Croke Park to watch the Ladies Finals. But again Castlerea may be missing players on the Monday so its hard to be critical of them when the initial fixture has been out for 2/3 months.

Why the county board didnt block that whole Sunday is beyond me but like a lot of things, logic seems to escape them .

The All-Ireland Intermediate Ladies Final was always fixed for August 2nd. Maybe when drawing up the fixtures for the championship, the county board should just initially left August 2nd free and had all games July 31st and August 1st in the event of Ros Ladies getting to the final?

Also August 8th/9th and 22nd/23rd are free weekends, could have games not been rescheduled for then if agreed by both clubs?

As our ladies haven't got to a Croke Park Final since God knows when the CB were unlikely to have left the Sunday blank .
