Yes but the game v Shannon is a 6 pointer, I think everyone up the top of the table will be shouting for a draw.Quote:

The standard is certainly not high in 1A or as your mate said the bottom six teams in the premier but in saying that you don't see many teams go from 1b up to 1a then the following season get promoted to Premier. Look how Prospect & Croom got on this year in 1A. They both noticed a difference after getting promoted last year.Quote:

Also Caherdavin were easily relegated from 1A last year and are in the shake up to be promoted from 1B this year. 1A is poor but as previously stated on this thread, the divisions get poorer and poorer as you move on down. Ye might have beaten Croom earlier in the season but i can assure you ye would'nt live with them now considering the team they are fielding at the moment.Quote:

As for the LDMC im not going to say anything about them its not my place, they know what they have done and what they do so they have to try live with their decisions.
What about when star(in the runninf for promotion in 1a) played our B team in the munster junior..3-2 was the final score to star but we should have won that game(abbeyvale i think will agree)...and pallas are not running away with 2a....if we win our games in hand we are 4 points off them...thats not exactly running away with the league!!Quote:

Don't think shannon can argue that we didn't deserve to win. Just the margin maybe

i was talking about the shannon teams for such a back log of fixtures but its fair bad to here that its happening to soom city teams too. is there any thing that can be done for next seson. i know weather had a huge facto this year but the likes of a back log of 4 games one week and such a contrast of having a cup game only the following weekQuote:
