div2 b is hollister ,castlebar town,clarmorris b,manulla c,ballyglass b,mulranny ,glenisland ,cross, swinford b and knock\kiltimagh b so all the rest are div 2a ,castlebar town and mulranny have good chances for promotion
So who is left then lad?
That's 10 in div 2b, seems to be on the high side. It would only leave 7 in 2a unless there are more new teams.Quote:

although the ever-efficient connaught telegraph didnt bother to proof read the article it seems that div 2a will consist of Ballyvary, Castlebar Celtic C, Conn Rangers, Clew Bay, Snugboro B, Straide n Foxford B, Westport United C and maybe others that have been cut due to excellent editing!!!Quote:

There are rules in place, in order to protect smaller clubs. Player playing with C Team would not be considered good enough to play higher than B status.
Should a player wish to play with the A Team Would have to transfer too A STATUS. Unable to play with C/B team.
Hope this helps:ball:
Div 2A will be made up of 9 teams:
Ballyvary BB, Ballina Utd, Ballyheane B, Celtic C, Conn Rangers, Clew Bay, Snugboro B, S&F B, Westport C
Pretty tough division I would think Clew Bay, Conn Rangers and Snugboro B are the favourites for the top spots.
At least there isn't much travelling involved this time around - Louisbourgh the furthest.
I think there are just 16 games i.e. play each other twice. Should be finished by the end of September apart from playoffs.
Unless Ballyheane B players start showing up they wont be a Ballyheane B,Quote:

lots of friendlies on today, can we taake anyting from results.
clew bay had a good win over ballyglass i think, dats a good result
conn rangers beat glenisland 3-2 but dont know the details of the game
Seen the Clew Bay v Ballyglass game and must say that Clew Bay looked very impressive. Watching the game you'd have thought that they were the 1st Division team not Ballyglass. Definite favourites for 2A. Very solid and very organised. The team to beat!
Very hard to judge on friendlys, fitness needs alot of work especially with only 3 weeks til the season starts. any idea when the fixtures are out?
