"Breffni Blues have been on the road 22 times for the start of the league since 2000"
"Small things matter, especially when they relate to fairness and a sense that equality belongs to all."
"Still, you might reasonably expect that it would be a genuine objective in sport, especially in organisational matters where checks and balances can be easily applied."
Breffni Blues have started the league away 22 times since 2000, an example of repeated inconvenient scheduling. Small details influence perceptions of fairness and belonging. Equality often fails to be realised across sport and wider life. Despite that, organisational processes could and should enforce equitable treatment. Sporting bodies can apply checks and balances to minimise recurring disadvantages for certain teams. Expectation of fairness in scheduling is reasonable and achievable with deliberate governance. Persistent away starts undermine competitive balance and the sense that equality belongs to all participants. Corrective action in fixture planning would restore trust and fairness.
