I see juvenile master fixtures are out . They plan on starting March 6th obviously if things go well ( and I know that’s a big if ) . Any word from adult board ???
With split season and the way things are would it be an idea to split leagues into 2 groups of 8 . Top 2 from each group into semis and 2 winners promoted . Bottom 2 in playoff and 2 losers relegated . Gives much more wiggle room as in time . Good start leagues later run off over couple of months but still have meaningful competitions . For example play league April or May to July it’s only 7 games 8 for some 9 for a couple . Run along side county . Then championship Aug with full access to county lads . Just an idea !
March 6th is ambitious. But I suppose, if kids are back in schools there is little difference to them being together in classrooms v on a pitch training and playing games. I wonder will the adult schedule follow but I would expect an April start at the earliest for adults
Now Alan, I’m not slagging you or anything, but do you remember in Febuary/March of last year you said there is no way the schools will be closed. How things have changed since then. Hope you were as wrong now as you were then, for the good of course
There’s no way game will commence in March, that’s just wishful thinking.
Games cannot start until we reach Level 2, we’re at Level 5 at the moment with no prospect of us dropping to Level 4 anytime soon let alone to Level 2. March 6th is only six weeks away, it won’t happen.
If St Patrick’s Day isn’t going to happen, at least it’s not according to the Taoiseach, March 6th matches certainly won’t.
No one had any idea what we were facing last year.
It’s level five till Easter. That means no games or training. Fair play to Damian et al for their preparation. Wouldn’t expect anything less. But it’s just not going to happen I don’t think.
Yea, no one had a clue, but you were 100% certain and shutting everyone down that said otherwise last year about the schools shutting. All I’m saying is, I hope you are wrong again
I’d say at adult level you are looking at the same as last year with championships and cups but cups possibly played before championships this year.
I can’t see how leagues can be played as we will be lucky to be back on a pitch by May and they will need to give teams at least 3/4 weeks before games.
Anyway it’s all a guessing game
Numbers dropping very quickly . Last Sunday over 7000 , today 2121 . 6 weeks to March 6th . Who knows . We all said last year there will be no football etc . If the fall keeps at this rate . The next week will see the high numbers wash tru hospital and then should start dropping . 2000 today not inconceivable to see cases drop by 500 a week . 4 weeks time could be in the low hundreds . I know that’s wishful thinking but it’s possible
