Big loss good side but with them being senior in hurling will put them under huge pressure
No change to summer footballOriginally Posted by fruice
Just to confirm what you are saying there will not be a move to summer football?
Where is this coming from?
It seems likely it will be next year.
CBL have on their facebook page that next season is a half season in preparation for the full season to commence Feb 2026
Well my opinion might not mean much to Kevin but I am hearing Grattan have lost 2/3 to Knocka looks like Knocka being back premier is giving them a pull again but also hearing a certain premier team in talk with Derek taking them over watch this space that would be lost to Knocka also heard coachford and manager 100% staying put so tough season again for rest of premier be interesting to see who village can hold onto we really need premier to be more competitive next season
Aul AGM Wednesday night. Full season as usual.
The feeling at the AUL meeting Wednesday was that calendar season will happen next year with a short season to bridge the gap
Wouldn’t hold out hope for village, they’ve been absolutely gutted with cow coming back, not only losing their own players but players that were due to sign for them this summer going to cow instead, Dunlea has his work cut out for him this year, wouldn’t be surprised if they finish 6th or 7th if they start next season with the current squad
Who was meant to sign for Village this summer but went to Doolans Cow? I agree they have bein gutted with the four Cow lads heading back big big losses for them especially Jamie. Village will struggle big time now, any talk or any new signings for them? Knocka could be Coachford main contenders next season by all the talk.
AUL as usual will be last to follow everyone else. Can see them having a short season, similar to be CBL at the end of 25/26 season. Summer football is coming in 2028 whether we like it or not
Last to follow everyone else how do you mean?
AUL will vote on it next June. At least they are voting. CBL teams got no choice. Limerick leagues have also not implemented it yet.
The CBL voted on it and it was 90% yes 10% no
Summer football can drive on I pay enough for me rent for me mobile in youghal I want to get me moneys worth cop on pepper boy
Some figures below following the league meetings held across the country during April & early May;
32% of leagues already playing a calendar season
27% have agreed to transition (Phased Approach between 2026 & 2028)
16% are undecided but have agreed to continue consulting with FAI & clubs
25% currently informing the FAI they won’t transition to a calendar season
12 of those 17 leagues wouldn’t meet the FAI to hear what an aligned registration period means!
FAI are trying to bully this through and it’s scandalous withheld funding for Kennedy Cup & Gaynor teams.
Threatening to withdraw safeguarding, Vetting, referees and potential support required for sport capital funding unless they agree to the calendar season they should be ashamed of their carry on.
The leagues should be allowed to choose their own calendar.
This years under 12s should be the first to move across as part of the FAI’ proposed new
Pathway the cork school boys league will continue as normal and run the under 12s in the traditional system ignoring the new pathway.
Their members do not want it.
No point having a vote if its going to happen anyway. If the majority voted against it it's still going to go ahead.
It’s going to happen regardless, lads can change or stop playing, it’s unfortunate but it is what it is
