Is the rumor through that several clubs have started or brought on minors as a result of low panel numbers in the U 20 championship and the county board are punishing them. I was at the Crosserlough game v Ramor and there was some excellent football played. I recognized at least 3 minors who were underage but well fit to play. The game was played in great spirit and both teams showed great gamesmanship at the end. There were also at least another division 1 team that played an underage player and 2 clubs in lower divisions that I am aware of. If the county board are going out of their way to punish these teams then they should be ashamed of themselves. The under 20 championship has been run well this year. The first time in years and they want to ruin it. I hope I am wrong but this has been said back to me on more that one occasions.

'If the county board are going out of their way to punish these teams then they should be ashamed' How does this statement make sense. Some teams who have followed the rules about no underage players have missed out on a semi final spot because of some "allowed" teams have broken the rules. As a result one division one semi is not confirmed. culchie123 (Cavan) - Posts: 17 - 29/11/2019 17:17:23 2252134 Link 0 |
I'm not sure what team you are referring to that missed out on semi finals due to not playing "underage " players. From what I've been told most of the teams who didn't amalgamate have played underage players in order to fulfil fixtures . I've nothing at all against amalgamations and think at this particular age group they make sense . The word is there is only one team in the county who have had an issue. This team have zero points in the competition and their grievance was driven by an executive in their club which their own players were disgusted by .im not trying to cause an argument here.im just a cavan football fan living in Virginia (not a ramor man) wanting to keep young players playing the game . eyeball

I doubt this is the reason division 1 semi final is not scheduled this weekend. Sure why punish ramor for playing underage player and I believe gaels did too and not postpone other semi where teams did the same.

Why are they waiting to play it at Christmas? Only nonsense playing 4 group games. Dragging it out. FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2824 - 29/11/2019 20:24:22 2252152 Link 0 |
Completely disagree . County board wanted to give this age group some respect and fair play to them for running it on a league basis because it gave lads football who may not have played all year . It has been very well run up to now and I just hope they don't go and ruin all the good work . Eyeball

Why have 5 teams in Division 3 with 4 progessing to a Semi. Though at least 4 out of the 5 aren't amalgamations. FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2824 - 29/11/2019 21:48:40 2252162 Link 0 |
Such a farce - So much for trying to get players to represent their clubs .... How can any one reconcile a sanction of a 2 point deduction for playing an "underage" 16 year old player in an U20 game. If it was a 21 year old maybe, but a 16 year old, get real ! with the result that the Gaels are thrown out ! Getting more like the Gulag here !

Or maybe Gaels should follow these "national" rules like everyone else? fredflint (Cavan) - Posts: 1485 - 02/12/2019 22:15:47 2252818 Link 0 |
The CB sent out the rules of the competition before the U20 championship started. Its in black and white. If every club did what the Gaels did and made up their own rules where would we be. Lavey could have played some of their strong 16 yr olds but didnt .At Senior level the clubs cant play 17 yr olds and thats the ruling plus they would nt have insurance.That 16 yr old for the Gaels would he have been insured. Doubtful. Knockbride are waitng in the long grass.

If certain clubs did the same, they wouldn't have to amalgamate ! There's not much support for the individual club at this level. Half the squads in Division 1 and 2 are amalgamations. It's no secret that almost all the standalone clubs have had trouble fielding squads as other posters have mentioned above and this rule is at the root of it. Quod est Demonstradum !

I agree, certain clubs should do the same and stop amalgamating. They need to do more work with what is available to them, amalgamation is the easy way out.
