All leagues suspended as of this evening until 2021. 2020 season to be finished in the new year before the 2021 season gets underway.

Across Adult Leagues & Underage Championships.

Has there been any further discussion on the completion of the 2020 season at club level? Anyone in the know able to shed any light in this regard?

Any discussions at county board level on 2020 resumption of season and 2021?

Heard potentially no club action in Armagh until after All Ireland.

Will be a long few months and long spring if so. Could be no pre season to May.

It’d be hard to plan in the current climate, hopefully by March April the country’s most vulnerable will all be vaccinated and the season should be fit to kick off.

Armagh release plan to finish 2020 season – but release three other options for new season

What is everyone's opinion on this? I personally can't see this whole covid thing disappearing/significantly relaxing until at least April. Then, once teams are allowed to train as a collective unit again there would need to be 4-6 weeks training before they are fit to play a game. We are probably talking mid to late May in my eyes before the leagues can start again. It doesn't leave much time to finish last years league as well as start a new league. The logistics and planning behind it seem a little too much. I would be in favour of scrapping last years leagues, with the championship winners promoted of course, and starting afresh...

Which will mean probably one round of league games, 3 teams to be relegated from 1B and 2B and 2 teams to get promoted to even out Leagues for 2022
Personally I wouldn't promote anyone i.e. Championship winners stay where they and they can go again

Finnish last year’s league as a warm up to a group championship and scrap this year’s league.
But hopefully things might improve very quickly from April on and maybe it won’t
