RÉAMHRÁ AN CHATHAOIRLIGH – CHAIRPERSON’S FOREWORD
A chara,
I am delighted to present the 2019 Fixtures Masterplan and Competition
Regulations document on behalf of the Fermanagh Competitions Control
Committee.
Much effort has been put into the production of this document by our
committee, which I am confident is as comprehensive as any produced by
any Competitions Control Committee anywhere in Ireland. I hope that you will
invest the time to read through this document to reflect the many hours work
that have gone into preparing it. There is much useful information contained
within this extensive document that, when read in conjunction with the Official
Guide, will keep us all right throughout 2019.
I am grateful for the commitment of each member of the committee, all of
whom operate on a voluntary basis in order to ensure that competitions in
Fermanagh are organised efficiently and that the principles set out are
adhered to.
As a committee, we believe in being open, honest and accountable to
members of the association in Fermanagh and we have endeavored to
engage with the appropriate bodies and individuals to explain why we have
taken the decisions we have and to address any questions or queries there
may be as early as possible.
We are very conscious of the current challenges facing clubs across Ireland
with regards to the pressures on the calendar, particularly with regards to
fixture scheduling, the regularity and certainty of games and the varying
needs of different groups of players within our association.
Club football is the heart and soul of our association and we all need to work
collectively to ensure that we showcase our games in the best light possible.
The members of the Competitions Control Committee have an extremely
challenging role in making decisions, which at times we know will not be
universally popular, and which are made in the greater good rather than
considering the individual needs of their own clubs.
We have put in place key principles to guide us in our decision-making
process, which will allow us to be consistent and strategic in our thinking and
hopefully allow all stakeholders of the association to understand why we
3 | L e a t h a n a c h
http://fermanagh.gaa.ie/fixtures-results/
have arrived at the decisions we have, regardless of whether there is
universal agreement with the outcome.
I hope you will support us in practical terms and with your goodwill as we
attempt to meet our own challenging targets and to meet the varying needs
of all of our stakeholders over the course of this season. We have
endeavored, in so far as possible, to produce a finalised schedule of fixtures
for the year for all adult and underage competitions. However, on occasion,
events will transpire that will be outside of our control and as such, this
schedule may unfortunately be subject to change, which shall be at the
discretion of the CCC. Any such changes will be kept as minimal as possible
and will be communicated as early as can be.
As you will realise when you look through this book and the accompanying
calendar, scheduling games in 2019 has been a real challenge, not least as a
result of an U20 inter county league at the height of the summer. We are in
discussions with two counties to move U20 inter county games from
Saturdays to Wednesdays and the fixtures contained within this document
are optimistically based on getting agreement on both those games.
Further details on fixture scheduling and the rationale for some of our
decisions are included within this booklet and I would ask you to read those
before reaching a judgement on the schedule so that you may have a better
understanding of the challenges facing the committee in arranging internal
competitions.
Also included in this booklet are the updated adult and underage competition
regulations, which are to be read alongside the Official Guide and
Fermanagh Bye Laws. I would ask everyone involved in the GAA in
Fermanagh to familiarise themselves with these documents, so everyone
knows what will happen in every eventuality. Some of these regulations will
require the approval of Central Council and this process will being
immediately.
On behalf of the Fermanagh Competitions Control Committee, may I take this
opportunity to wish all of our clubs every success in 2019 in reaching the
goals that each individual and team has set for the year.
Is mise le meas

ÁR BPRIONSABAIL – OUR PRINCIPLES
Our key principles in decision making have been as follows:
• Players, along with all our stakeholders, deserve and require fixture
certainty.
• Having a season with a definite completion date for all internal
competitions.
• Clubs support a regular flow of games for senior club players through
the summer months, including ‘Games for Club Players’.
• That there are ‘safety net’ and ‘reclaiming lost ground’ opportunities
within the end of season league formats.
• All rounds of the league competitions shall be completed before any of
the championship starts.
• Sustain a season long interest in club training, with championships, as
the climax of the season and offering the best preparation possible for
going into the end of league formats.
• Organising adult competitions where games are competitively important
and meaningful throughout the season.
• Consistently, fairly and strictly enforcing all competition regulations,
particularly with regards to postponements and accurate First 13 lists.
• Meeting the welfare needs of all players, club and county, by
recognising that there are club player needs and county player needs,
and they are both equally important within the amateur ethos of the
GAA.
• The need for those who have a ‘say’ in club fixtures (County
Committee, Inter-County Management team, CCC and Club
Management groups) to respect the desire and need for players to play
regular games for their clubs.
• Giving the club and county teams that are acting as ambassadors for
our county the best possible chance to prepare for and compete in
Provincial and National Competitions.

SCHEDULING ADULT CLUB COMPETITIONS
As is always the case, but even more so in 2019, the ability of a County
Competitions Control Committee to schedule adult club football is heavily
impacted by external factors.
In the early part of the year, our natural commencement date for adult club is
determined by the conclusion of the National Football League (NFL), the
finals of which will take place on Sunday 31st March. We intend to start our
Senior Football Leagues on that day, unless Fermanagh reach the NFL Final.
The Erne Cup will also begin on that weekend, allowing a joined-up approach
within clubs to adult football and the submission of accurate first 13 lists from
the start.
Any club wanting to play football before that date is encouraged to enter the
Ulster Club League.
Moving on through the year, the month of April has been set aside for club
football and we are making full use of that, scheduling 5 rounds of SFL
games over the 4 weekends in April.
The months of May and June will see difficulties begin to emerge. In
Fermanagh, due to the goodwill from clubs and the belief that club players
are entitled to regular games, we have normally been able to continue on
with our SFL competitions, regardless of the progress of the Senior County
team.
However, with the introduction of an Inter-County U20 league and
championship during this busy time, we believe it unfair and unreasonable to
ask or expect clubs to play games without members of both the Senior and
U20 county panels, given that some clubs have significant representation
across both panels, leaving them without more than 10 players for club
games.
In its submission to Ard Comhairle seeking the introduction of an U20 league
competition at this time of year, the Central Competitions Control Committee
claimed that “there is little club activity anyway” in June and early July and
that all U20 championship games should be played mid-week.
18 | L e a t h a n a c h
http://fermanagh.gaa.ie/fixtures-results/
In Fermanagh, there would normally be club football every weekend in June
and early July and in Ulster, all U20 championship games are being played at
weekends, despite the commitments made.
We have submitted our opinions on this matter to both the Ulster Council and
to the Central Competitions Control Committee and we have asked them to
play these competitions in Spring or at the very least, to play all U20 games
mid-week. Our Fixtures Analysts have fed back to the National Fixture
Analysis Committee that the scheduling of the U20 competitions at the
proposed time will have a significant impact on our ability to organise adult
club football. Our views have not had the desired impact and the U20
competitions are proceeding as planned.
If that went as planned, we would be unable to schedule any SFL games
from 25th May until at least 16th June as a result of the scheduling of the U20
competitions.
This period without senior club football would also include the weekend of 28-
30 June due to the scheduling of the U20 Football Championship. If
Fermanagh progress in the U20 Championship, the Ulster Semi Finals are on
5th July, the Final is on 13/14 July and the All Ireland Semi Finals and Final
are being played on 27/28 July and 3/4 August respectively.
For example, if Fermanagh reach the Ulster U20 Final and we adopted the
policy of not playing Senior Club Games on the same weekend as U20
County games, we would have a serious crisis with fixture scheduling in
Fermanagh as there would be 7 consecutive weekends with no senior league
games. That would have a even bigger impact on our ability to conclude
competitions in a timely fashion, but we will deal with the situation as it
arises.
However, we have sought to reach agreement with Longford and Leitrim with
regards to two U20 league games due to be played on Saturdays at the end
of May and start of June. We are hopeful that we can get agreement to play
those games on Wednesdays, reducing the impact on club football.
We are planning to proceed with senior club games at the times when
Fermanagh’s progress in the U20 competition is not guaranteed. Due to the
time challenges, we cannot find a scenario where we extend this already
lengthy break and we can get all games played in time. We therefore
19 | L e a t h a n a c h
http://fermanagh.gaa.ie/fixtures-results/
suggest that if Fermanagh progress and individual clubs want to amend their
own games, then they should follow the standard process of agreeing a re-
fixture with their opponents.
We cannot have a situation where league games are being played after the
commencement of the Ulster Club Championship in October as teams will be
holding back waiting for Fermanagh’s 3 representatives to return to club
football.
We know from experience that this leads to an increase in the number of
games not being played, which can distort the final league standings as
some teams may be fortunate to pick up points that they would not
necessarily have got had the game been played.
Whilst the scheduling of U20 activity in May, June and July will have a
devastating impact on club activity, we believe that the introduction of an
inter-county development league is a welcome and important step, but we
strongly believe that it should be played in the spring time, when the impact
on club football will be much lower. This change needs to happen for 2020
and our representatives to Ulster Council and Central Council should be
mandated to express that view.
The feedback from our survey in 2018 indicated that players were largely in
favour of Sunday games being played earlier in the day and were generally
supportive of more games on Friday or Saturday night.
One issue that was raised was the impact on players of playing multiple
games at weekends, particularly when county players are not available to
their clubs. Therefore, we have endeavored to play Reserve games during
the week at times when Senior games will be, or could be, played without
county players. We have also avoided the situation of players being asked to
play three games in three days, as was unfortunately the case in 2018.
At the tail end of the season, the optimum closing date for internal senior club
competitions is one which leaves our three championship winners with the
best possible preparation to participate in their respective Ulster Club
Championship games, which will be played on 19/20 October.
20 | L e a t h a n a c h
http://fermanagh.gaa.ie/fixtures-results/
We intend to leave a free weekend for preparation for all teams, although if
the SFC Final ends in a draw, this free weekend would not be possible,
unless League Semi Finals or Finals were to be played mid-week.
We strongly believe that the best way in which to organise our Senior club
competitions is to play all rounds of the SFL first, followed by the
championship block, before returning to conclude the Semi Finals and Finals
of the leagues.
This means that all clubs enter the championship block with the same
preparation period and should lead to more meaningful league games in the
closing stages as all clubs will want to build momentum ahead of the
championship.
The difficulty with playing the league Semi Finals and Finals before the
championship is that some teams will be left idle for a few weeks, with others
involved in playing competitive football.
If we were to play the championship block before the 18 rounds of senior
league games were concluded, it is very hard to get teams motivated to
return to playing rounds of league football and this leads to increased
numbers of conceded games.

http://fermanagh.gaa.ie/fixtures-results/
consideration and approval. Decisions on gradings shall be circulated to

8. In relation to Regulation 7 (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above, if the accumulated

ii. For all other knockout matches finishing as a draw, two 10-minute
periods of extra time shall be played. If teams are still level, an
additional two periods of five minutes each way will be played.

T.O Cuid II, Phase 2 of Extra Time shall be considered an
45 | L e a t h a n a c h

hours or more is provided to the Youth Fixtures Administrator and the club
secretary of the other team involved. Failure to field in two consecutive
matches in the same season may leave the team liable to disqualification
from that competition for the rest of the season.
11. Postponement of Matches

the Club Secretary and the Youth Fixtures Administrator (or in
his/her absence the Chairperson/Secretary of the CCC). Clubs

the submission of an approved form by both Club Secretaries, the
46 | L e a t h a n a c h
http://fermanagh.gaa.ie/fixtures-results/
re-fixture must take place by within a reasonable period of the
postponement. The definition of reasonable shall be a matter for
the Competitions Control Committee to determine on a case by
case basis. Failure to comply may result in forfeiture of points for
the two teams.
v. All postponement re-fixtures must take place before the playing of
the final round of league fixtures and there shall be no
postponement of the final round of fixtures, except under
regulation 11a. i., ii. or iii. above.

clubs, or matches not played due to failure of a referee to turn
out, or an unplayable pitch will be re-fixed by the Competitions

SCHEDULING UNDERAGE CLUB COMPETITIONS
The GAA is moving (at a national level) to an underage system that all
counties must operate using the U13, U15, U17 and U19 model for club
competitions. This will be put into place from 2020 on so it makes sense that
we fully embrace this move in 2019, moving on from the initial steps made in
2018. In November 2018, it was agreed that we would move to the U13, U15,
U17 and U19 age grades.
Like the situation with adult competitions, there are substantial external
challenges facing a County Competitions Control Committee in determining
when there is suitable space within the calendar to schedule underage
competitions.
Taking all things into consideration, we have decided to play the U19 and
U15 competitions in the first half of the year and the U17 and U13
competitions in the second half of the year. One of the benefits of this is that
it removes the possibility of any player playing for more than one team at any
time as an U15 player cannot play U19 football and an U17 player cannot
play adult football.
The biggest issue remaining with such a format is that leaving a player with
no regular football until they reach a standard to play at U13 level would be
considered late in the player pathway.
The work carried out by the Games Development Manager and County
Coaches in arranging Go Games blitzes and by various clubs in organising
tournaments has helped to fill this gap and will continue to be important work.
However, as a result of us historically having a comprehensive U12
programme, for boys and girls, much of this activity focused on U8, U10 and
U10.5 age grades and this gap needs to be filled.
We are therefore introducing an U11.5 (P7) competition to take place from
early April until the middle of May. In line with the Official Guide, these games
will be arranged on the Go Games model.
In terms of scheduling, one of the challenges we face is that inter-county U16
& U17 Academy games begin on Saturday 2nd March and for 6 Saturdays in
a row, both those panels of players are involved in competitive inter-county
matches. The U17 inter-county football championship begins at the end of
April, taking up another four possible weekend slots and the U17 Celtic
Challenge (hurling) starts at the end of March and runs right through until
August.
50 | L e a t h a n a c h
http://fermanagh.gaa.ie/fixtures-results/
In the month of March, we do not have the ability to schedule mid-week
matches due to the time it gets dark and a shortage of grounds with
floodlights.
Once we get into April, May & June, there are external pressures on young
men taking part in GCSE & A Level exams, which causes a further problem
with fixtures scheduling and we have taken this into consideration in our
fixture planning.
For example, the majority of U15 league and championship games take
place during these months and we have endeavored to avoid playing mid-
week games during this time to ease the pressure on people preparing for
exams. Of the 11 slots for league fixtures (including the finals), 7 of them are
fixed for Saturday mornings, 3 are down for Friday evenings, with only 1
game on a Thursday evening (25th April), which is well before the GCSE
exams begin in mid-May. All championships games (except replays) are fixed
for Saturday mornings.
U19 activity will conclude at the end of March, which is very early in the year,
but the challenge of deciding whether to extend the programme of games
has to be balanced against a number of factors. These include the large
number of 18/19 year old players at university and unable to make mid-week
games and the overlap of players that would be involved in adult teams at
weekends, thus making games at those times unworkable.
Once again, the U21 competition is being played once the adult club
competitions come to an end in October. The re-introduction of this
competition has been a huge success in the last two years, with 15 clubs
taking part in 2018. We want to see all 20 clubs represented in 2019, a most
achievable objective.
We are well aware of the various pressures facing young men in a modern
society. We need to ensure that we take into consideration the need for
young people to have a social life, to be able to focus on their education, to
sustain a part-time job or work on the family farm, or to be enabled to
participate with other teams (club, school and county) within the GAA.
We also want to provide regular and meaningful games for the maximum
number of players. We understand that a small minority within the county are
very active across a number of teams, but their activity should not be used as
justification for denying the vast majority of our players regular games, so a
balance between the two has to be found.
51 | L e a t h a n a c h
http://fermanagh.gaa.ie/fixtures-results/
We believe that, with the space available to us, the proposed format for 2019
provides that balance as best we can. If we were operating with a blank
canvass, we would do some things differently.
We have continued the practice of setting Monday evenings aside for hurling
and for ladies football within the county. No games are being organised for
Monday evenings and clubs are once again asked not to arrange training for
Monday evenings.
