no...
Winners of Division one automatically go up, runners up play off with team from second bottom of premier.
As to the chances of Limerick or Cobh for that matter, remember Limerick would only be three behind Dublin City if results went their way tonight, (i know it would be a very tall order for Athlone to get anything from tonight's game) but the top two could well go through a bad patch, remember Bray had a very poor run-in last year.
Remember too that Sligo have won their last 4 but were lucky to win against Cobh and yourselves.
To sum up don't give up hope, I haven't.
Thats right.Quote:

Actually we have won our last 6 in the league ;). Yes we were lucky to win against Limerick but we deserved to win against yeQuote:

Yes the format has changed. Because the premier is now 12 team and the first 10 team (it was the opposite back then) there is only one play off spot for the first division. :ball:Quote:

We already have: Kilkenny City 2-0 Sligo Rovers:o :oQuote:
