according to the echo 1a is the third tier with top 2 being promoted to division 1 hence why i called it 2nd division

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.

6.fermoy
7.rockmount
8.everton(if they have a team with senior having no one )
9.mayfield
10.carrigaline
11.broklodge
12.glasheen
