Who will win the 1st division ?

Hopefully Shels, to win one side of a double bet I have on for the season !

Besides, they do deserve it after last season.

Shels would be the team i think will go up,but it is very hard to call with only 2 points between 1st and 4th.

UCD will go up. They have been playing well all season and with Purcell now scoring goals they will have a few options up front.

Don't forget to factor in the game in hand though.

With both clubs out of the cup I think it's looking like the next cup weekend which is some stage in August.

Will be a much more difficult game now than when it was originally to be played.
If shels had played the game when it was supposed to be played then it probably would have been a shels victory. I wouldnt be so sure now.

Harps are likely to shed players in the transfer window though.

I think 5 of the players that would have featured that night will have left by the time this fixture is played.

which of yer players are going so that I can let gareth cronin know!

**Youths4Ever** · 30/06/2009, 10:46 AM

from the games I have seen so far this year I reckon Shelbourne will go up as then are getting results without playing well so far and reckon then will start playing well as people always say that's its the sign of chamions to be able win games when not playing well and without playing well then are a point ahead of the rest with a game in hand.

Between Fingal, Waterford and UCD one of them will hopefully keep it interesting till the end as the rest hope Wexford can hold onto 5th

**Martinho II** · 30/06/2009, 11:58 AM

depending on who comes in and out gareth cronin has set the team a target of seventh or eighth place by season end. dont think its feasible myself as the gaps big to the other teams..

Madden heading back to Bohs. This is bad news for shels and good news for the rest of the league. Im sure they will bring in another player to replace him but will he be as good? Their challenge could hinge on who they get to replace him because Hynse wont be the answer if they are looking to win the league.

To be fair, Flood has been our big matchwinner this season up front, not Madden. Madden is a loss, but not one that should have the rest of the league thinking they'll be better than us now.

I think the point is more that you have two players who've scored more than one league goal - Flood (9) and Madden (6). Unless you can replace him, you're looking at turning some of those 2-1s into 1-1s. And if anything happens to Flood...

Agreed

All iv heard from a lot of the Shels lads including CSF is how great Madden has been and what a loss he will be. So a good replacement should be and probably is high on Shels list.
