Summer football is the way to go, best thing that the Mayo League have every done. The amount of SFAI, Connacht and Mayo Cup games that have been postponed since October has been unbelievable.

Agreed,I'd prefer to put up with the clash with GAA & holidays any day as opposed to going 5 or 6 weeks without a game and the kids training in the freezing cold.

This thread kind of died a death last year but just thought i'd try re-ignite it with the current snow fall covering most of the country . It's going to be another 2 months at least before any one kicks a competitive football again so just to break it down . We miss almost 3 months in the summer june july & august with the school boy & junior leagues electing to take this time out for their off season break , we play for 3ish months sept oct & nov & then the weather kicks in & we suffer another break for at least 2 more months dec & jan possibly longer . Surley it would make more sense to be finishing up the season before the winter weather kicks in .

Summer football has been in Mayo since 1994 and it has been a great success for the underage game. Games get played during the summer months and it is more practical given that the climate in Mayo would be one of the most dismal in the country. During the winter, the county gets a direct hit from Atlantic weather systems and gales (cannot say that there were that many storms this winter), and there were a very high number of postponements, which led to the doubling up of games in April and May to conclude the season.
