No, 4 points (UCD) and Galway (5 points plus a Pat's away game in hand).
There hasn't been much movement down there for a while, except from Harps of course. But Galway and Cobh pulled off some good draws before tonight.
With the huge gaps in talent in the table it's difficult for poorer sides to get the (expected?) unbeaten runs together.
I think Galway's win against Cork is the best result from an underdog so far this season. At least since Bray v. Drogs or Derry but Bray showed they were a Mid-Table standard around that time too.

Aertel had Harps seven points clear when I checked it last night when I got in (they still haven't updated it actually). I'd no reason to think it was wrong. Anyway that does change things alright. Good wins for Galway and UCD last night. They should show that Galway - Harps match on TV..
I'm seriously wondering about me too. This promotion race stuff is an emotional roller coaster.

Cobh beat Rovers 1-0 tonight to leapfrog Galway once again.
5 points between the bottom four... getting very interesting indeed.
Good to see Galway back on bottom![]()

Great weekend for the relegation battle, except for Harps obviously. Good to see things liven up.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Last week, we had posters crying that the relegation battle was over.Originally Posted by adamd164

Great win for Cobh last though Rovers were clearly the better team. Very unlucky with a shot off the bar near the end but Cobh hung on. The relegation battle is looking very interesting.
Just heard that the L37 team have left Ferrycarrig Park 'cos Mick won't let them warm up on the pitch....................
I wasn't able to go to the game myself but my wife and son are up there. All teams (incl Youths) have always warmed up on the adjacent pitch. Seemingly, the ref must wait until 8pm and the Youths must take the field. This isn't going to end pretty. I'll update later
A walkover ?
I'm up in Dublin but my brother just rang me there a few minutes ago. Basically it's rainging in the sunny south east and Limerick 37 said they wanted to warm up on the front pitch. Mick said no you can warm up on the back pitch like everyone has for the last 2 years. Limerick decided they would leave if they weren't allowed to warm up on front pitch. When Mick wouldn't budge, they started to pack up and get back on the bus. Mick said alright then ye can warm up on the front pitch, they still fecked off.
Nonsense really. By right I think Mick should let teams warm up on the front pitch but I suppose he wants to keep it in as good condition as possible. On the other hand it's not as if Limerick 37 have never played in the feckin place before.
Would be a pity if the game doesn't go ahead. Particularly for any Limerick fans that may have travelled down.
If the don't play the game they'll be deducted points and probably Wexford given the game too. Though I'm sure it wont come to that. One of those infamous delayed kick-offs no doubt.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Crazy stuff, is there an ulterior motive for Limerick not wanting to play?
