clubs should have proper dressing rooms + showers but a few of the newer additions dont (for senior anyway, not sure about junior)

greenwood might go junior if they move? pearse dropped down last summer.

Springfield?

Would them teams be cannon fodder if the went senior?
Likes of kilreen,pearse,innishvilla havent lasted senior but were very competitive aul.
Pearse now playing munster junior div 4 - it's about same standard standard as aul 2.

Buttevant went up a few years back also and are doing brutal, macroom not much better

Have seen a few of the so called senior teams in div 2 and standard is awful bar the top 2/3.
Casement,temple,ballinhassig all shocking and thats just to name a few

Kanturk were the same barely held their own in Aul premier now their bottom of 1st division Msl 2 points picked up all season

kanturk arent as bad as table suggests from what ive seen. should have a couple more draws against some of the bigger clubs. infairness to them they have a tiny pool of player too , goosed once the gaa starts aswell . kanturk definitely better than a lot of the others mentioned. 2nd division is shocking level really dont see why so many were added.

Is it true castleview full senior team are dropping down the aul the best part of them did last year but full team is I'm hearing

Grass is not always greener on the other side.

Yes better facilities etc.

But you are coming up against huge clubs and to be really competitive is next to impossible for some.

The AUL should be a very good option for some really well run clubs.

It needs tiding up better fixture management ( weather & refs a huge problem), increased awareness of big games, harder punishment for the carrying on likes of City Wanders this season, no shows like Knocka and Cathedral, the yo-yoing of clubs in and out of the league.

Whilst these mightn’t be easy fixes it’s vital if the league is the grow.
