Somehow I doubt it as he is no longer referees, although it would be great to see him hand in the report and then be sitting on the disciplinary committee:eek:

[CCCeltic]

Kiely was down to ref it on the website

[see's it]

hows 1a going this year who's doing what in the league?

[Edgey]

Kilmallock to win it at a canter from what I've seen so far. Balla and Hill Celtic to challenge. Everybody else to slug it out for the two relegation spots.

[see's it]

it must be a very poor league if thats the case

[Limeref]

Ger or Mike?

If it was Mike, it must have been bad as he is one of the most experenced refs in town. Will see him on Thursday and find out.

Ger is another experenced referee and I doubt it was trivial if it was him!

Then again Kiely in the paper does not mean Kiely on Sunday:eek:

Just a quick question.

If Balla "B" finish in the top two promotion places this year, what happens?

Are they allowed into the Prem (with Balla "A" there already) or does the 3rd placed team replace them going up?

balla b cant get promoted,so the next promotion spot would go to the team below them

i'm fairly sure the B team can't be pomoted, not sure what the full reason is tho, probably somethin to do with the B's being the reserves team for the A's, so technically the A team could take all B players....

[Concept]

Happened a few years back........They stay in 1A

Ya happened to geraldines a few years back. Surely you remember that Abbeyvale?

Geraldines stayed in 1A. But not sure if 3rd place were promoted.

Cant say that I do, I knew that ruling was there before but thought it had changed.

Why then do you have other clubs in the lower leagues playing with two teams in the same Division (I think Corbally B & C did it last year).

Doesn't make sense really for Balla "B", they must think to themselves, What's the point in playing league games if you cant win promotion?


And what would happen IF (I know its a big IF) Balla "A" got relegated to Div 1A and Balla "B" finished mid table in Div 1A the same season???

[Green_Hoop]

A scenario could be that Balla "A" play Balla "B" last day of the season and need 3 points to win the title,a bit of match fixing could take place so that Balla "A" take the points easy...

Note:Case scenario,not suggesting anything so don't flame...

I understand that.

My question is, WHY are Balla "B" even bothered about winning promotion? when they cant?

[Concept]

Maybe they just want the league title

[Green_Hoop]

I'd imagine that its a case of simply a group of lads wanting to have a kick about on a Sunday morning and a few pints afterwards, basically an excuse for a day off as such..and this is reinforced even more since its a "b" team.

[see's it]

balla b wont win the league they have a good start every season and fade.i rememember afew years ago they had 28 players signed and won there first 4 games,they just avoided relegation the same season

That wouldn't happen as with CorballyB/C and again with Fairview B/C a few years back, they play each other in the first two games of the season. I also believe that Fairview B/C were in 1A at the time.

This exact thing happened to Geraldines a good few years back. The B's won 1A and the A's got relegated from the prem. So the teams should have switched places. But the club left both teams in the divisions that they were always in. Felt the A team that got relegated would have a better chance then the B team.

Suppose its up to the club at the end of the day.

[Ballsy]

any games in 1A today?

[abbeyvale]

any games in 1A today?

No, only game down for fixture was Charleville v Hill Celtic.

Both teams turned up and togged out but no ref showed, what a joke.

Think it was some Polish bloke down to ref it on the paper.

Unfortunately he ended up refing the Boro v Fairview game instead, i think Charleville and Hill Celtic got the better deal there- he was rubbish.

[Worldcup]

Any fixtures for the weekend coming...

[booster 03]

whats the standard in 1a this year?? better or worse than last year? havent seen any games of yet.what of the teams that pushed last year for promotion, like of shannon, mungret, bruff, and caherdavin, judging by results they seem to be struggling!

division is a lot worse than last year,all of the above teams seem to have lost a lot of players from last year or maybe we just happened to catch them all on off days!! i think it will be a low points total that will win it this year unlike last year.
Havin said that its early in the season yet and comin to this time of year when you could be without games for weeks on end it'll be intereting to see how teams get on over the winter pperiod.

Yeah, Bruff are very poor this year. They lost four of their best players from last season. They lost to Caherconlish FFS :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Ballsy]

any predictions for the weekend??big game at the top..looks like every other 1a team will be hoping for a balla win if whats been said is true about them not being able to get promoted.

[Worldcup]

Anybody got results from weekend games

[Edgey]

Caherdavin 0 Herbertstown 2
Bruff and Mungret drew...think it was nil all
Kilmallock 2 Balla 2
Shannon 0 Dromore 1

[gaidin]

Ya they cant get promoted. If they keep up their form then looks like a 3rd spot finish will get promotion.

Heard Kilmallock were lucky yesterday to get a draw with them. They scored in the last 2 minutes.

[Edgey]

I'm not sure I'd want to get promoted to premier by finishing 3rd in 1A....but I'm sure plenty would.

Anybody have any idea what points teams are on given that the website hasn't been updated recently.

Think it's Kilmallock on 22 points after 8 games
Balla 17 from 8
Herbertstown 15 from 7
Dromore 14 from 8

Open to correction though...

[abbeyvale]

Caherdavin 0 Herbertstown 2
Cappamore 2 Charleville 0
Bruff 0 Mungret 0
Kilmallock 2 Balla 2
Shannon 0 Dromore 1

[gaidin]

Any results from yesterday?

[KevB76]

Bruff 1 - 1 Hill Celtic

Someone has to do it I suppose, and we'd be waiting a long time for the LDMC to update their website.

[Sir Jose]

Dont think hill celtic will beat charleville 2-0 at all,charleville arent bad at home. played them already there this season an it was a hard fought match. i agree with the rest of the results other than the dromore one,mungrets defence hasnt been leaking goals in the last few matches and i tink dromore will find it hard to win.
