Is there not a rule that says that once a player has played 'x' amount of Senior games then they can no longer play junior games?
Or maybe i have got that wrong?

Agreed,playing the likes of Murphy and O Sullivan who would get in to most senior sides is unfair,but i suppose their not breaking any rules. They have about ten subs every week but play two seniors anyway. This league win is tainted as many of the squad are not happy with the way they were treated.However there were no rules broken,many teams use two seniors.
Show me a team that has won the junior league in recent years without playing one or two senior players in the big games v mount, hall, mayfield, etc, You do what you have to get across the winning line. The reason the juniors had so many subs is that the players are dedicated club men who put the club first and not themselves. They didn't pack it in or head off to other clubs like subs in some other squads. In any case, O'Sullivans heart is with the juniors. Plays senior only to keep the club happy!!
Typical of Corinthians win at all costs attitude that seems to run right through the club well done all the same
do you not think its unfair on the two players that played all season ,get the team right up the top and then for the biggest game there dropped for two seniors.just doesnt seem right.why bother playing them if ye have around ten subs all ready.pointless really or was it just that ye wanted trophy that bad.congrats to the junior players on yere junior team for winning the league
final out the cross tomor night against everton a.should be a good game because there was nothing in the league games.i see cashmans are giving odds of ringmahon 5/4,,everton 7/4 and the draw is 9/4. anyone taking a trip out
Fermoy juniors beat Midleton 1-0 tonight up in Mayfield to win the Div 1 league title showdown. Fantastic season for the lads, great cup run and title now to go with promotion.
well done to Ringmahon on their cup win against everton should have won the game in 90 minutes.from the start of extra time Everton were playing to take the game to penaties.
Yeah great win .it could of been a cricket.we had most of possession but missed some sitters.there keeper made some great saves during the game.your right they wanted penalties.kept slowing the game down and time wasting.horrible way to loose a match though.great sporting game but pity there wasn't a bigger crowd.onwards and upwards. Come on the Ringmahon :-)
Was up at the midleton game other night, well deserved win for Fermoy. There was a lot of unused bottles of champagne in the boot of a few midleton managment, i hope you kept the receipt for them Mighty Almighty!!!!!!!! My god that centre half has some mouth on him, if he had put more into his defending than mouthing that goal wouldnt of been conceded. Galaticos ended up with nothing after such a promising season.
Was at it aswell bluey,wouldn't exactly say Fermoy were well deserved,midleton did miss 3 1v1's in first 45min,or did ya not c the first half, keeper kept them in it,Fermoy worked really hard,can't reemember many chances created by Fermoy,midleton didn't create too many either in second half,knowing the midleton lads,alot if them had champagne in d car,why wouldn't they be confident of winning,there a good side.to be honest bluey if i was part of that team this year I would hav had some too,I'm lost over the centre-halv,didn't take much notice!!
we did offer to buy the champagne from the midelton lads but they said no !!! :)

Is there a 2nd Division this year? MSL site just shows Division 1 and 1A.
Ah right, didn't see the Echo. Makes more sense to have 3 divisions instead of a split 1st division again.
I'm gone from the management side of things so don't have the inside info anymore. As far as I know though all of last years squad have said they are going back this season. With the seniors going up premier though it'll be interesting to see whether they take any of last years juniors for their squad.
Yeah relations have been good the past 2 seasons when new management came in. With new men coming in for both teams this year hopefully they'll stay good.
Last year we benefitted from a few senior quality lads who couldn't fully commit to the senior panel from the year. We accommodated them and they strengthened our side.
These lads are all the wrong side of 30 though so the chance to give Senior Premier a go might be too hard for them to pass up.
2nd divison will be tight this year with the clubs from the AUL coming into it it should be intersting
Anyone know what format the John Hayes Trophy will take on now that there's a 1st and 2nd Division?
Agree with you about the better structure though. Should make all divisions more competitive.

what form are the new teams to the MSL pre season ????
Where are you gettin this info from.first you said there was hassle in senior camp last year and now your saying the juniors are not a happy camp.and its not alot of players gone seniors.three former senior players who came down junior last year and are now gone back senior.if anything the squad is stronger with new signing.s etc so before you comment anymore get your info right
I hear from good sources left back,centre half (basil)last years junior player of year.and few others no need to take offence,we are all hearing rumours about,Last year hasslwe in senior camp must have been through wen at times towards end of season club couldnt fill senior team with 11 seniors players..heard that seniors flying with big numbers
Ya id make them favorites too.hall and mayfield are meant to be struggling for players .we will see should be interesting.
my prediction for the msl junior would be as follows:
1.douglas hall
2.ringmahon Rangers
3.corinthans
4.midleton(provided players dont go bk senior)
5.ucc
6.fermoy
7.rockmount
8.everton(if they have a team with senior having no one )
9.mayfield
10.carrigaline
11.broklodge
12.glasheen
id say i wouldnt be far wrong there
