Board will be voting for Option B. I suppose see how it works out over a trial period. There are a good few tweaks and variations possible if it works in general.

Option B rejected. For all the cribbing about the Provincial set up and subsequent all Ireland series when it came down to it not enough people wanted to change it.

"]Ulster are only 9 counties so not 30 percent of the vote and why wouldn't they say "no" when they have a great football championship which any of the counties up there would be overjoyed to win? The problem isnt the fault of the Ulster counties. It's the counties in Leinster mostly but also Munster who arent competitive in their own provincial championships. And that's not entirely their own fault as the GAA as a countrywide organisation havent supported the counties outside of Dublin particularly well. And obviously it also is no coincidence that the traditional hurling counties arent as strong at football with the exception of Galway and Cork who have massive populations. Although Corks footballers seem to be dropping back behind Kerry and Galway also seem to be underachieving with the big ball in hand also.

I was disappointed option B didn't get the 60% but at least the wheels are in motion now for change, football championship 2022 will probably be another damp squib unfortunately.

LN and NY should focus on developing and international competition rather that playing in the All ireland. That's going against the weight of history but its in the best interests of the GAA overseas. Unfortunately the sob stories win out all the time so hard to see it changing.

they getting together tomorrow night, another season starts, who knows whats it will bring, there is a very positive feeling around about football ,reports are that noone has turned down an invite to join the football squad, id doubt thats true, but it seems there is a big change of attitude , getting out of div 4 is the main aim, hopefully we will get tipp and cavan at home, that would be a hugh plus, and hopefully waters and malone stay another year, a lot of young lads put their hands up in the club cship

Malone did very well in the club championship too. With the young panel youd be hoping they both give it another year. Their experience would be invaluable.

According to the local paper new players into the panel are Andrew Boland (Adamstown), Dean O'Toole (Kilanerin), Dylan Furlong (Sarsfields), Graham Staples and Glen Malone (Shelmaliers), Jack Kehoe (Horeswood), Matt Doyle (Glynn-Barntown), and Rory Heffernan (Castletown). They have also introduced a group of next generation players featuring Brian Cushe and Rían Fitzpatrick (Naomh Eanna), Ciarán Regan (HWH-Bunclody) and Jack Higgins (Castletown). Back in also are Jim Rossiter (St. Fintan's) and Robbie Barron (St. James'), with both having recovered from cruciate knee operations. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 23/11/2021 11:10:09 2390418 Link 0 |

Yeah think they've 7 and the Shels will have 5. Interesting Adamstown have 3 in the panel given next year is there 4th in a row at Intermediate A level. This might be harsh but considering the players they've had in adult and underage county panels they've seemed to have underachieved in both codes the last 4-5 years looking from the outside. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 23/11/2021 12:48:14 2390440 Link 0 |

I'm surprised John Dunne isn't on the panel after the excellent championship for Bunclody he is coming off the back of, but perhaps he couldn't commit. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1486 - 23/11/2021 15:05:29 2390465 Link 0 |
