Other Motions

That for championship purposes, that any team that plays Senior championship names 17 players that aren’t eligible to play second team championship football and a further 15 if they are entering a third team. Naomh Muire Cill Tochairt (Motion withdrawn)

That at any level within the county, a club should not enter a 15 a side competition, only knowingly having the intention to play 13 aside. Players on both sides are losing out on playing time, and this is unfair to players and is not in the spirit of our GAA ethos. Naomh Muire Cill Tochairt (Motion withdrawn in recognition of the fact that CCC Liatroma carries out grading)

Leitrim County Board trial a silent sideline at all underage games and actively promote it. Naomh Muire Cill Tochairt (Motion put forward as a recommendation to be trialled in 2022 at Under 9 and 11)

To accommodate clubs that do not have sufficient players to enter a second or third team, that these clubs be allowed to amalgamate together within their region and be entered into the Corrib Oil Junior C competitions only. This will ensure that ALL players within these clubs would be guaranteed football. Acadh na Síleann (Motion withdrawn)

In the event of a club’s home pitch not being playable, the given fixture (league or group stage championship) will automatically revert to the away team’s home ground. Should the away team’s home pitch also not be playable, the fixture should be moved to a neutral venue to be fixed by the CCC. Gortleitreach (Motion defeated)

 

2021 Masonite Leagues

CCC Liatroma has finalised the 2021 Masonite League Programme of Matches for clubs which will run from June 19 right through the month of July.  All of the 92 matches across the Leagues Divisions 1-3 and the Reserve Leagues 1-3  have been tightly scheduled across the limited timeframe for this activity to occur, in advance of the Club Championship action commencing in August. Each team is guaranteed four regular matches and it is also planned that the finals between the top two teams in each division will have taken place by the end of July. Saturday evening games will take place at 7pm, and Sunday’s action will generally take place at 1pm. Certain games have a later time on Sundays due to the fact that there are third teams of a number of clubs involved in the Reserve Leagues. It should be borne in mind that matches organised by Leitrim LGFA will have a starting time of 11am on each of the Sunday mornings and space in the calendar has been provided for this with no earlier than a 1pm throw-in time for Leitrim GAA activity.

We thank CCC Liatroma for its efforts in pulling all this together and wish all the clubs the very best of luck with the return to competitive action after over nine months of inactivity. All of the fixtures can be viewed here
