Aul does it again
If knocka folded from premier they should be put back in the premier. Absolute joke of a decision

How in God's name have Knocknaheeny been put Premier A. I don't care how good a side they have, they should have to pay their dues down the divisions.
Martin C and Tom F are killing the AUL. 20 years ago we'd over 100 teams and now we've 41. Disgraceful. It's run all wrong. The business league allowed young guys with fresh ideas run the show and it's thriving now. The standard is still poor but the organisation is much better than the AUL.
Social media presence is huge and the AUL don't even have a website.Comment

To be fair the Knocka issue is a difficult problem for the AUL.
The have to get a relegation you can’t come and go as you please with out some sort of punishment.
Then there is the issue of them being in a division that they are competitive in anything lower than Premier A and they would be strong favourites maybe Watergrasshill would be stronger in the 1st but would be well stronger than most.
As for the AUL themselves I’ve said before they have problems but they are trying to change Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Clubs must strive to be better themselves it’s easy to complain but the most important thing for any club is your own house is in order.
The FAI are try to push the sports capital big time this time round be interesting to see will many clubs get involved.Comment

Business League have grown to 3 divisions and MJL 5.
Not a good sign.
Let's pray for good football and better managed fixtures.Comment

A this rate the MJL is the one that will only grow they have clubs with the real potential to have multiple teams.
The Aul has some potential to increase numbers but as seen this year a lot of B teams are gone.
Fair play to shipping league for getting an extra division but it will be interesting see have they increased numbers or is it just a re shuffle to make the whole thing more competitive across the boardComment
-
Business League have added 5 I've heard.
Last year an MSL team approached AUL to put in a Junior team and no reply. No chance of growth with that carty on.Comment

Nearly time for the start of a new season! Anyone fancy predicting the leagues and The big cups?
Prem: UCC
Prem A: Cathedral Celtic
Div 1: Watergrasshill
Div 2: Grattan B
Div 3: Rathcormac
Mossie: Springfield
Henry Healy: Castleview
AOH: Cathedral Celtic
Now these are based on the rumour mill. Hearing Coachford have lost loads due to new management. Grattan screwed cos of Knocka. Watergrasshill kept that lad Desmond. Cathedral signed Bobbi Donoghue, Skilly from village and Graham Kelly from Avondale.Comment

Who'
Dont think you can predict right now I will reply after 3 games in we can see how teams are it was knocka lads that kept grattan together last year one there lads was near top scorer foxy lad up front being in aul for years watergrasshill got good spell last year can the keep it up is the thing ..skilly good player but Notting special Graham great player we just have ta wait see but defo have cathedral knocka and castelveiw battle for most be disappointed if edor team don't and Springfield alway have great side bit just can't handle the attackers that we'll the play ball have one lad in midfield that can play but need full team !!and what's story with coachfordComment
-
Hard to see knocka not winning anything if they stick together. I think Boher will have a good crack at divison 3. Division 1 and 2 could be interesting, you wouldn’t know what the likes of Richmond, hibs, etc… will be like under new management. You would imagine if watergrasshill have the team they finished last season with they will clean house.Comment

Knocka have alot goal scorers ment ta signed good center half ta slot in with Jason Higgins who knows the game well but hope there's no mess ups from him in the back round ? the have Chris akebi in center field surly get into any senior side think the have alot young fellas so the should be up there ..y isn't there any mention of coachford !!are the gone hiding again because knocka are back ..Richmond and hibbs the would be just pretty much same as every year !!watergrasshill arnt the underdogs anymore so the have alot ta prove thus year the should really be still in and on top the league by Xmas think there be alot surprises !!the aul only have few good team threw out the whole leagues let's see who stands outComment

I'll change my Cathedral predictions, watched them get hammered by The Cow yesterday?Comment
-
Anyone any predictions of top goal scorersComment
-
Cathedral will be very strong but lost their good goalkeeper, get a handy replacement and you'd fancy them to do very well. Knocka will be good for sure. Castleview will be dangerous but won't be up cnear the other two teams.
Word around is that Coachford won't be as strong and if that's the case then it's open season. Will Grattan go for it again and be up there after Knocka lads left? UCC could be dark horses again like metnioned above depending if the college don't move on their stronger players to senior. They are back so should be starting games and we can see. Reading in Echo last week that Springfield strengthened.
Predictions but very tough to call :
Springfield
Cathedral
Watergrasshill
Grattan B
BoherComment
