Does anyone know how promotion from Div.3 work this year? Do the top of both groups go up? Do the winners
of the semifinals go up? Why don't the clubs know for certain what's happening..... 'cos' the players involved certainly don't know.

**Notaclue** · 29/03/2010, 12:13 AM

I know this is not the correct forum but anybody got the lowdown on the ladies finals today? These women are tremendous for their commitment and I'd love to have been in Clounreask today but for other commitments. Fair play to a league for doing things right and everybody involved deserves great credit.

Great set up they have in Broadford too. Hats off to them...

yes it is true that broadford started charging 3euro admission for the A team games..newcastle west A and abbeyfeale utd do it also..not sure bout rathkeale..cant think of other teams doing it

No it will be down to the ref on Sunday morning id say. Looking like a lot of teams will be playing Friday night and Sunday football in a couple of weeks time.

There wont be any more blanket cancellations from now on, league is way behind and clubs will just have to get on with it, situation demands it and while it may noy not be ideal we must live with it. Some clubs unfortunately will be affected more than most with possible games on Fridays and Sundays

Fair play to bally rovers, a fine pitch and dressing rooms that their club can be rightly proud of. And of course if the day is bad you will often get a cuppa to warm you up at half time. Hats off to them

Going back to what I asked early on. What is the situation in Div. 3? Two different answers given. Which is correct?

Winners of semi finals are promoted, I'm 100% sure

The winners of Div 3A and Div 3B are promoted and these two teams will playoff for the Div 3 League title. The runners up in each section do not get promoted, I'm 100% certain on this

Well I have spoken to players and officials from two of the clubs, 1 of which will win their section and the other which is battling for second and they all believe that there will be a format that involves semi finals. It needs to be clarified alright.
