Cork AUL 2024/25

[AverageJoesGym]

Lads im gonna take a break from this forum. One of my pals was sent an abusive text message last night by someone claiming they knew that they were AverageJoesGym on this website. While they were wrong and my identity wasn't given away, there is no need for any kind of abusive over this site or football in general. No one on this site gives their identity away so why should i. I might see be back in the new season.
Stay safe

Mad thing is average joe is one of the only fellas on here who doesn’t get narky and personal when someone disagrees with him or take personal shots at any players in the league, strange one

[Harsh ref]

I’m the same Ball I don’t get narky either

[CBL20]

I’m gona stick around because no-one knows who I am either.

I see Bweeng are looking for players and a manger sound in real trouble.

On a positive note Sullane are joining from the west cork league, along with two b teams.

Anyone hear anything else?

[forward152]

It can't be easy recruiting for Bweeng given where they are and the pitch they play on.

[fruice]

I see that Mogeely ate entering a second team.

So that’s at least 4 new teams.

Will surely have to restructure the divisions.

[Average Baller]

Grattan B team is back this year I’ve heard? And I heard about Sullane too, be interesting to see where they’re put.

[Retired Folk]

With the Grattan B team going back, is that not the Castleview 3rd Jnr Team gone? It's like musical chairs with the lesser teams.

It would be great to keep both in the Aul, as it's badly needed, but I don't think B teams are the answer to declining numbers.

Many teams are struggling hard, I'm hearing, including Snr teams all the way to CBL.

Appetite just isn't there anymore and its way to easy to jump ship. Even whole teams are doing it at this stage

[fruice]

Why aren’t B teams good?

I think B teams have a huge part to play.

All sports have clubs with multiple teams.

Proper clubs must offer more than one team you can’t have all these Underage teams and all funnelling into one adult team you simply will lose players that the club will have put 10 plus years of development into to get them to adult level.

It also allows players the opportunity to compete at a level they are suited to.



Singular one off teams that float around for a few years and disappear are not what the AUL needs, it needs consistency.

[Harsh ref]

I know it’s rumour season but heard Knocka have brought in few already but one player I’m hearing in particular is massive addition to Aul

[meballs]

The suspense is killing me, want to share who it is?

[meballs]

With 6 weeks to season kicking off, some teams already back training. Any sign of the sections being confirmed? Seems silly that preseason starts and people are trying the pull in players before the league sections are announced, obviously in a league where all new or rejoining teams start at the bottom everyone would already be fully aware of what teams are in their division.
Not knocking the AUL here by the way, last season finished late, next season starts early, there isn`t much breathing space in between for league or clubs.
