Dublin GAA Juvenile update Friday 9th July

Fri, 9th July 2021

For those reading this update as an email to Club Officers, CCC1 & CCC2 Delegates or on the juvenile news section on the website can I once again ask you to please note the following:

Remember the most up to date information for this weekend’s games can be viewed at https://dublingaa.ie/competitions/juvenile and not necessarily per the issued email fixtures dated 02/07/21

Particularly on a Saturday afternoon due to a combination of pitch shortages and lack of referees, CCC2 games are being fixed for 2pm & 3.30pm. Changes to these times will not be facilitated unless the assigned referee is in agreement: - notwithstanding for example that for your 2pm game having a pitch free at 3.30pm, the game proceeds at 2pm because the referee is required elsewhere.

Should the referee not be available, the home team should email details to CCC2refadmin@dublingaa.iein order to inform CCC2. A replacement referee will be allocated by CCC2 and will be reflected on https://dublingaa.ie/competitions/juvenile under the relevant league.

Protocol - changing official fixture issued by CCC2

CCC2 are issuing official fixtures at least 8 days in advance confirming time of the game & assigned referee.

All fixtures must be played on or in advance of the scheduled date

Any subsequent changes once agreed by CCC2 will appear on the website

When seeking to bring a game forward you also check on referee availability

If all parties on board you email me the details and the website will be updated.

If the Referee is not available you email proposed date changes to myself , I will amend the fixture and you then seek referee replacement by emailing ccc2refadmin@dublingaa.ie

As always once an official fixture is issued by email to your club, you check the website in case the referee has been replaced.

As per regulations if no referee is sourced for your game the match proceeds

Since the return to play we have had situations after official fixtures have been issued by email to Club Officers, where the referee has declined a game, the committee has appointed a replacement referee and then at short notice the clubs wish to bring a game forward to an earlier day / time and the replacement new referee is not available. Firstly, parents need plenty of advance notice when in particular the day of a game changes & secondly the committee will do its best to replace the referee but if not possible the game proceeds under regulations.

I attach the following juvenile fixtures:
