I hope you aren’t referring to the Duffster as one of those worst referees. Man is the greatest referee cork ever produced

Might not want to play with them . Great player but if he wasn’t picked it’s easy to understand why

Wasn’t available for selection, unfortunately.

Why didn't Grange or Andy Sulls have any players on the panel??? Grange are a top team who finished 4th in premier AUL last season

Grangevale are in teh second tier of the CBL and havent played any league games so maybe there is the answer for themn.


Billy Tabb was on the team allrite but has transferred

Sure there were teams in the 3rd tier with 4 players in the squad ?

Grangevale manager had the hump he wasn't picked to do team so none of their players put forward.
The amount of players selected from a poor ballyphehane team would be because their manager done the team.
Gwan the shipping league:)

Not surprised

This is the most posts the CBL thread has seen in years . What are we going to discuss about the CBL when they are knocked out of the Oscar Traynor trophy?

I was speaking to the Grange manager at the Glenthorn game and he was surprised none of the players were called up. Going by that game he was right.

I wish we had a team to debate. Would easily beat MSL.

Well lads ye must be badly stuck today.. yere secretary who can't get a game with anybody and the ballyphehane manager whose the same both on yere bench in Oscar traynor:)
Do none of yere players in league want to play for ye or whats the story?
Enjoy yere stuffing in waterford this afternoon:)

And it finished 12-2.
3 cheers for the shipping league..hip hip:)

Fairplay for putting the effort in and putting in a team, not a lot ye can do if players dont show commitment.

The Cork Business League (CBL), affiliated with the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) and the Munster Football Association (MFA), is pleased to announce a major structural change in our competition format.
Beginning in 2026, the CBL will move to a calendar season format, aligning with the FAI’s Football Pathways Plan and the national vision to unify the football calendar across all levels in Ireland by 2028.
This transition is informed by the FAI’s extensive consultation process, which included over 11,000 hours of engagement with stakeholders across the country. The move to a calendar aligned season is designed to modernise Irish football and deliver benefits to players, clubs, and administrators alike including the CBL.
