There's a good chance they escalate GAA well above where you would put it. You're not right about how important it is and neither are they. Each to their own. If it's a championship match, then nothing barring your own wedding, injury or illness is a good enough reason to miss the match. It seems to me though that applying a little bit of common sense would go a long way. The partners of the players can go to the wedding. Arrange a bus to pick the players up after the game, and bring them straight to the reception. It seems odd that those playing just straight up cancelled without coming up with any compromise.

I'm assuming the wedding and the reception are happening in the same county as the match. Everyone at the church by 1pm, if required.

I think businesses are realising that it's pretty obvious when a customer is kicking up a stink for no good reason and that the general public will see that.

I'd understand them not willing to budge to suit one or two players but in this case the whole team are supposed to be going to a wedding?

Sebastian Dangerfield wrote: » For those saying to reschedule the match, scheduling club games in the first place is a huge issue, to the point where club players have formed a union to have their voices heard. Its almost impossible for the powers that be to agree on a week first time around. The other team agreeing to postpone for this reason is unlikely, without the possibility of replays and delays to a final. Either way Im not sure what it changes from her perspective. She doesnt seem concerned with their attendance, just that she gets extra champagne or a voucher to compensate for the lack of it.
