Anyone hear of any new club Managements ?


I imagine several senior clubs will be looking to shake things up a bit.

Was just wondering how many counties have gone Back to under 18 for minor I was told but not sure if it true only 5 counties are still under 17 for minor personally I' think it should be under 18 also can't figure out why in club in Galway it's under 19 football and under 20 hurling surely mske since have both same ,

Saw on Hoganstand that Meath delegates voted last week to return to u18 for minor.
Tipperary are voting on same this week.
Think most other Counties in Connacht are gone back to u18 ? Not sure of the total Nationally.

The logic in Galway seems to be that the separation of Adults and u17s allows the fixtures to run more freely.
A return to u18 would allow Clubs to look for Match postponements if 1 or 2 players had a Minor game close to Adult game.

Not sure how other dual Counties like Cork manage it or if they have a crossover of 18 year olds playing Adult games.

Haven't heard any arguments as to why its u19 for football and u20 for hurling. Allows lads to play both maybe ?

Cant understand how we have two different ages for football and hurling. Croke Park should dictate it is u20 or U19 for one grade and U18 or U17 in the other.

I see that dates for the FBD have been announced. Does anyone know where will the games be played this year?

Agree totally with that it should be same all over also hard understand how counties not looking for minor to go back to 18 at county level if all but 4-5 are at club level think top brass be bettt off sorting this out they more interested in messing with rules and championship in football I think since 2000 it must be 4-5 different formats spend more time sorting out minor
