Any news on the promotion/ relegation issues for next season? For example will it be 2 up and 2 down from A.U.L. 2A this season or will it be the same as last year- 1 team promoted only?

Any news on the promotion/ relegation issues for next season? For example will it be 2 up and 2 down from A.U.L. 2A this season or will it be the same as last year- 1 team promoted only?
Any one know if thaeballincollig team in 3A is the one from the premier a section last year?
Ballincolligs senior side lost a lot of players last year so I'm led to believe - so players from their Premier A side had to go playing senior - which meant there 3rd division side had to go playing Premier A - this led them to pull out the team in the end . So i'm guessing this side has been re-entered into the 3rd division
hi new to this but that is fairly spot on as I would have seen their seniors play alot last year
Hopefully otherwise it will make our division very one sided and unfair you would think. as for the rest of the sections very competitive an interest points all the teams bar two teams have at least a second team which allways ensure a good source of players feeding into the club to make them get stronger.
yeh hope that is the case.i see mayfield have no aul team this year.and its good to see sections changed around a bit.the two first divisions are very strong and will take some winning.
springfield will surely be favorites after going so close last year,next best leeside b.and douglas hall will rattle other section.anyone hear anything on glenthorn celtic rumors running wild as to wheather they will have a team.
I think this info is vital, 1 up 1 down from a division is terrible - unfair on all sidesQuote:

On the promotion/relegation thing, I would guess at one up for two more seasons from Div 2 to get Div 1 at 10 each. I could be worng but its my guess.
HI guys new to this game,have been an avid a.u l. fan for years. played for a few years as well.looks like it will be another cracking year ahead.any new players signed or management changes involveing forum members.
I think it should be two up two down in all divisionsQuote:

yeh macroom must go in with ballyvolane, wilton,leeds.killumney.what are peoples oppinions on the winners and runners up from each sections.
macroom have now been added to group d.
i think its a great idea to have the mosssy linane back to start of the season and in group capacity as well. any suggestions on who might qualify from each group.
There was sort of an unofficial vote at the AUL AGM to have the Mossie back at the start of the season - Glad to see we are being listened to - and contrary to what people think - that attendance at the delegate meetings is usefulQuote:

ah its good to be back. Hope all are keeping well. Looking forward to a new season and a new challenge. Good to see the Moss
Linane back to the old format and at the start of the season. On the relagation and promotion it def should be 2 up 2 down, without question.
the two first divisions take an awful lot of winning and the ist two should be considered.
What are you getting at there beiber?Quote:

what im saying is there should be two from each ist division go up.Quote:

Or else the two runners up play the 3rd and 4th bottom teams from premier a in a play off
how ya.. any new signings anywhere??
Welcome on board takethat - just a question could the new lads who've signed up say what club they are affiliated with?? Makes it easier to discuss topics then
not attached to any particular club at present ,olachico,i just take in one or two games each wkend mostly premier and premier A.
that include me too olachico?
But you are here a while - or did you move clubs??
ya on this awhile but been quiet for a long time. ya back playin this year with Blarney St Ath. any news from ye olachico?
i see a lot of talk again about promotion and relegation lads, its just not feasable to bring 4 up and 4 down from the premier a. cant happen. on pacmans point of a playoff that puts one of the leagues with more teams than the other which the aul are tryin to balance out at the moment.
So no it doesnt apply to you casilles ;-) as I knew who you were with . I'm still out with Blackstone - looking forward to the new season . Went from Hibs to Glenthorn to Blackstone in quick sucession so glad to be staying put this season!!
There will never be a solution to keep people happy regarding the premier A as long as it has more than one league feeding into it. the way the leagues are set up and have been for years always means there will be a bottle neck somewhere - perhaps 9 divisions?? Straight 2 up 2 down from each section?? On a side note wouldnt like to be playing 3rd division and be a city team in 3A - some amout of travelling there!!
any predictions or is it a bit early yet lads on the leagues,very quiet on the new signings,
it was the same for us last year alot of travelling in to town...littleman has been very quite things must be very quite with his team:pleeside for prem this year with us in top 5 hopefully..killumney premA,1 Springfield,1a douglas hall,2 Innisvialla,2a macroom,2b Brooklodge,3 leeside,3a grattanQuote:

Cheers
Here is my prediction; Premier; Leeside, dark horses Ballyvolane, Premier A; Greenwood, D.H's Kilumney, Div 1; Springfield ( Knockraha), Div 1A; Douglas Hall ( Glenvale), Div 2; Inishvilla ( Hibernians), Div 2A; Millstreet ( Glenvale), 2B; Carrigaline ( Watergrasshill) Div 3; Leeside, Div 3a Newmarket.
Hi boys,
Thanks for the confidence in us boys- a lot of people tipping us for the first division. I, however, know how hard the first division is and it will be a mighty task to come out of it. Ont he squad front we have made some very interesting acquisitions. We have signed a few Wanderers players who have become disenchanted with whats going on down there. There will be a really strong squad down here next year and a lot of competition. I think there are a few teams in our division who will give us a really strong race, if indeed we are in it.
Really looking forward to the new season- may not be involved too much myself with a little bambinho on the way but I will be checkin in if I ever get a chance to see how things are going.
Be safe out there in pre-season lads
couple of interesting ones there HILL,should be a cracking season.Quote:
