Aisling, Newport at home and Knocklong away.Originally Posted by putthemunder
Im involved with summerville and I can guarantee we will be going all out in every game we play for the rest of the season firstly we need the points and secondly its only fair on the teams in contention for promotion and fighting for survival, missing out on something because a team pulls up the hand break with a few games left is a disgrace.
of course ye are kilfinane can still stay up they have game in hand nd only 5 behind why wouldnt ye keep going ha
we have holycross knocklong aisling all at home moyross and summerville away..
As I said in my previous post we need the points,Clearly we need those points to stay in the division my main reason for the post was to emphasise the importance of remaining competitive in the last few games which are crucial at both ends of the table.
Pity ye were'nt competitive in the first few games
Any results from last nights games?
moyross won 3 1 think that is the league won now is it congrats major difference between them and everyone else in this league
well done Moyross, wasted in this division, hope ye keep team together for a few seasons, would be great to see ye in premier...
good season for moyross so far 7 2 in the cup today gr8 result best of luck in final
They will find it way harder next season in 1B. some very good teams in 1B and they certainly won't run away with it. But I would still fancy them them to push for yet another promotion
Shels 4-3 Holycross
Agree they will find it tougher but every year teams have said they would find it tough in the division above and they haven't really. They have improved their squad with every move up the divisions. 1B will be tough but still fancy them again next year. The difference between the top teams in most divisions (1B down) is minimal.
I think once you get to 1B and 1A the standard of football and teams is much better than 2A downwards. That's my opinion anyway. If you have a half decent team who is committed and has decent fitness levels you will move up the lower divisions without much difficulty, i.e. Caherconlish, Moyross etc
will disagree with that, any of the top two or three teams in the lower divisions (2a down) would give 90% of the teams above in 1A or 1B a good game and probably beat them, teams like Moyross, Kennedy Park, Kilmallock, Hyde and Lisnagry. We have played teams from those so called higher divisions and have not been out of place, some players want to help their teams move up the divisions and it may take a few seasons but they are willing to be patient whereas other players will switch from team to team depending on their mood each year. A player who stays with his club to help them achieve this is to be commended
I would agree that on their day, in a cup match, that these teams you mentioned would give teams in 1A and 1B a good game, but this is just one game and you are talking about a cup game. League matches are totally different. I guarantee you that any of the teams you mentioned above would badly struggle in 1A or 1B. It's easy to motivate lower league teams against the higher league teams whereas its harder to motivate higher league teams against the lower league teams, hence why you see a lot of shocks in the cups. 22 games in 1A is a totally different story
Can see what your saying but looking at the two higher divisions we spoke about((1a &1b) the standard is very poor apart from the top two or three teams in these divisions,as for playing over 22 games that would make no difference, can you hand on heart say apart from the top few teams say that the standard is good this year
The standard in 1A & 1B this season is better than last season. You have a team from 1A in the quarters of the Munster Junior and in the Lawson you have Caherdavin and Knockainey in the quarters of the Lawson for example. Not only that but at present 6 teams are in contention for promotion in 1B, 6 teams that could easily handle playing in 1A. As for 1A this season, the top 2 teams have been excellent, far better than Shannon Town and Star were last season, and also Croom have been very good. Even us (Charleville) have improved immensely. I think the standard of 2A this season has been very poor compared to recent years
1A is woefull bad, has been for many years now.
Woeful bad? As in compared to the Premier? Where 2 teams fight it out for the league (Pike and Fairview), and everyone else fights against relegation! I've seen a good few Premier games over the years and it's getting worse every year
