Strange one to hear! Moving outside of the county! Nobber were Senior the year before last and I'd say might have fancied their chances this year - but with Morris gone on top of Brian Farrell leaving the year before they might struggle. I wonder where they are in terms of a new manager - might change some peoples view not having Morris there!!

Big blow for Nobber. I can't imagine Nobber people being to happy with this seeing as Kingscourt is ten minutes up the road. Transfers should only be granted if the player is moving a huge commute away from their current club or if his current club cant field a team and don't' enter a competition.

Lads forgive my Ignorance on this Morris transfer but will that effect him playing for Meath?

I know there is no rule against a player playing club football in a different county and playing inter county but some Counties do have a policy that the players need to be playing club football within the County. I assume we don't have that policy in place?

I can't remember any examples of this situation occurring with Meath players before. Well not since Bernard Flynn back in the late 80s early 90s

Ok that is good news for the County. Big blow for Nobber alright but at least the county aren't losing him.

Every single year for the 5 at least I'd say Adam Flanagan has been leaving Clonard to go to one senior club or another. Yet to happen so I wouldn't hold by breathe .

Isn't it great that these players can pick and choose where they might ideally like to go and play. Must have very high opinion of themselves.

Crazy to allow stuff like that! Junior clubs will find it very hard if key players are moving/being poached by more senior/larger neighbors !

Have to agree with you there but i think he didnt play for Clonard this year so this could be the big year yet

I do agree with you to a point. But then also I look at it from the players point of view and they might have a huge ambition to play senior football and unfortunately for the likes of Flanagan that is never going to happen with Clonard. I am not saying I agree with it but from a players point of view I can see why they would want to test themselves at the highest level possible.

It says a lot about the character of the player who would walk out on their club just to play senior football. I'm sure the likes of Martin OConnell PJ Gillick, or Brian Stafford would be looking at this with amazement. They stayed with their clubs and dragged them through the grades to senior football. Just like Cian Ward and Donal Curtis to mention just a few.
I wouldn't want any of these lads in my club no loyalty at all.

Silly post!!!

I wouldn't be questioning the character of the likes of Evan Kelly and some others. It is a personal choice. The likes of Adam Flanagan probably owes his club nothing at this stage. Is heading towards 30 and wants to test himself at senior level something that is never gonna happen with his club who lets be honest are completely in the doldrums on the pitch at the moment and can't see that changing anytime soon .

Only for covid these players would get a chance to play senior with the proposed regional senior championship so absolutely no need for them looking for a transfer

well I don't know how his club will ever get out of the doldrums if the best lads in the club jump ship as soon as they get to adult level. It was the hard work of people in the club that got him to this stage just like Morris. Evan Kelly moved to live in Simonstown and it made sense for him to transfer to them. Theres a huge difference in these two examples.

Southy... LOL. Doesn't take long for the North Meath chip on lads shoulders to raised its head.

Flanagan possibly moving from Clonard to Summerhill is hardly a South Meath Club benefiting. Nor was Evan Kelly moving from Drumree to Simonstown. Or Rory Maguire moving from Longwood to O'Mahonys. Or the other lads from smaller clubs around Navan who moved to play for O'Mahonys over the years. Or The Tones keeper moving from Ultans a short drive to tones.

All ok I suppose because they are not moving to South Meath clubs.

Love the way every debate with some people becomes a North Meath v South Meath debate.

Yeah - I understand what you mean! But where do you draw the line - What if Matt Costello decided now that Dunshaughlin was intermediate he was going to move to Dunboyne! (I understand a player who transfers from a Senior club and has played in the current years senior championship can't play Senior championship for their new club the next year (if they transfer within the county!))
Maybe I'm being unfair, but I think it is hard enough for the clubs in the towns with smaller populations without running the risk of their star player moving to the nearest Senior club!
