Replying To Temple56:  "Unless Westmeath get to All Ireland Semi finals it will start with hurling on the 4th of July with football starting 11th July."
Another own goal by the county board. Give the players some certainty, less than a month away now…

You wouldn't mind if both options kept hurling and football on the same weekends for both options 1 & 2, that way at least players could plan the next 4-5 months of their life

Last Wednesday morning 8 division 1 clubs were told there last round of games were being moved from Friday night to Saturday night. 2 days notice they were given. All because one club wanted to change, the same club that wanted the championship format changed and got there way. All games had to be played at the same time. I heard both Athlone, Garrycastle and Kinnegad objected to the change of day but went too CCCC and were denied. Both Athlone and Garrycastle had weaken times due to alot of the players having other commitments. It didn't matter to Garrycastle but there heavy loss to Moate kept Moate up. While Athlone lost and got relegated. Another own goal. The said team got the result needed and stayed up.
