    Road map coming tomorrow

    Just feels like the GAA speaking above their station again. How can they put out a definitive roadmap when govt haven't even given one yet. Wont be taking anything they say tomorrow too seriously anyway.

    Another team out training. Another 12 week ban, although the chairman has stated he knew nothing about it.

    Club Championship to start in September or earlier epending on County being out of their Championship. No mention on Club leagues .

    Damien Lawlor has a full list on the Rte Gaa website.

    'In hurling, league action will commence on 8-9 May except for Division 3 teams who will commence a week later. Each team will have five games and there will be round robin groups of six.


    There will be no quarter-finals, semi-finals or final. Instead, there will be joint winners - or if teams that win in Division 1A and 1B meet in the championship that game will double as a League final

    The Division 1 hurling league relegation play-off will act as a curtain raiser to the All-Ireland senior semi-final in August.

    In Divisions 2 and 3 there will be no finals with the top team promoted and the bottom relegated'

    Jesus a little bit of a mess there regarding who wins Div 1.

    Great to have the season back and in the summer too

    Do we believe that this is the extent of it or the tip of the iceberg?

    I'd expect that club leagues will be run without county players, and will commence whenever the green light for the resumption of non-intercounty games. They'll effectively be organised practice games, and i'd imagine that club players will gladly embrace them.

    Why bother running the league if you're planning on having no winners

    Reckon it's just a way for teams to get games before the championship, The mad thing about it is the All Ireland hurling final could also be a league final

    Id say its disappointing for the football championship to not have qualifiers but i suppose it would of messed up the calendar. Did the county boards agree to having it knockout once again ?

    Club leagues will be run off like they were last year over the summer. Clubs have to take things into their own hands or they’d be forgotten, as is always the way now. County is merely a separate entity at this stage.

    Clubs are getting a great run of things now. They're getting a full half of what's left of the year, with a large run in time unlike county and the prospect of playing league while county's ongoing. And they'll get that every year from this point, after getting the best of it last year also. Unless clubs want to split away from their county players altogether and run their own calendar, they can have no complaints with much going forward if they wish to keep the county lads

    I've long thought this would solve all the scheduling problems at a stroke, but given the nature of the GAA it's never going to happen...

    Not just championship prep - if you had no league football this year, a huge chunk of intercounty teams would only have one or two games.

    The GAA had club games before inter county last year and were accused of forgetting about the club player.

    The GAA have inter county games before club this year and are again accused of forgetting about the club player.

    Which is it?

    Some people just love to peddle this conspiracy theory about clubs and the big evil HQ in Croke Park.
    Just trying to look like true gaels
