With the EU voting to stop twice yearly clock changes in 2021, Balls.ie is petitioning decision makers to ensure Ireland opts to stick with 'summertime' rather than a permanent 'wintertime.'
The prospect of a year round wintertime would result in the arrival darkness an hour earlier during the summer and this will reek havoc on GAA club players, and most importantly, club players who are trying balance playing football and hurling with getting the silage done. Two priorities that are probably not high on the agenda of the big-wigs in Brussels!

I set this up thinking it might just reach a few people at my own local pitch but the amount of you who feel the same about the silage and the evening training sessions is honestly overwhelming. It is clear this is a much bigger issue than I first realized and I am just doing my best to keep up with all the messages coming in.

Please stick with summer time , it's not just for matches but the amount of sport played long into the bright evenings is vitally important especially considering the nation's worries of obesity
