2021 County Senior Football Championship

[tango tony]

The leagues are being regularised across the board next year, in 2023 there will be 10 teams in each group, giving 9 games. This will still mean that you'll need 18 weeks to run off the league programme in order to get to a league final stage by Mid July. Hopefully in 2023 it'll be the beginning of March before leagues are needed to start but for 2022 I don't think clubs have any other choice.

League format has changed so finals are ending up roughly last week of June, first week of July. This gives clubs a 3/4 week run in to championship then.

I'd contend players would prefer the later start for the leagues but it is a very tight season as is.

Currently each team will get 9 league games - I think this could prob be reduced to 7 games saving 4 weeks with a month - 6 weeks later start date.

But then you are reducing games for players ableit they would be Feb games which are never enjoyable

Might have heard wrong tho.

Why were the Barrs not open to a toss for home venue ?

 

[red&blue]

Why should we?

Why should we?

Thats what he asked...

How did game with UCC go?

 

[leeside_rebel]

Why should we?

I'm curious what the reasons were in general?

If it was me I'd much prefer to have taken a chance of going home/away. Surely Pairc ui rinn would have suited Barr's.
Even in terms of both sets of supporters, can't see the point of dragging two clubs all the way to Thurles.
Thought home or away was the common sense option, but it's obviously the clubs decision if they have a reason for it. The reason just isn't obvious to an outsider to be honest

Arrogance is the reason. Losing the toss would've been in the barr's head. Game lost already. R&B's defensive reply of "Why should we" instead of giving you a valid reason tells you all you need to know.
