don't think many teams in 1a are good enough for premier but neither are shannon hibs.there's not a massive amount between wembley,aa,kilmallock,corbally and the top few in 1aOriginally Posted by deadly man
Tough luck Caherdavin,better off in 1a next year anyway,not good enough for premier football imo

I think the current summerville and granville teams will struggle up there as well. Both will need to strengthen. However Im sure every team that goes for promotion understand this already and under no illusions that they need strengthening to compete in the premier.
Who is to say if Caherdavin got promoted they wouldnt get 5 or 6 new players in that could keep them up?
if you can get up,add some good players and beat the teams around you,you have a chance.its almost a two tier league.who'd have thought dines would be where they are now?
This goes on every year and drives me mad. Whoever finishes second in the league will have deserved to get out of 1A and earned the chance to prove whether they're good enough for the premier or not.
I was part of the Dromore team that went up a few years ago and the abuse we took on this was unreal. We'd be the worst team to ever play in the premier, we wouldn't get a point, we wouldn't score a goal etc. etc. In the end, we took a few real hidings, were very unlucky not to get something from Pike, Fairview and the Boro, had a few good wins and got relegated on the last day of the season with 14 or 15 points. So we weren't good enough for the premier but I was glad I got the chance to play in it for a year with a club that I've played all my junior football with.
The same would go for a load of that Caherdavin team if they went up. A few of them have been great clubmen who could have went elsewhere (Judgie for example) and it'd be great to see them get a chance to play in the premier with the club. If they finish second they'll get the chance and if they don't they won't. And if they finish in the top ten of the premier they'll be good enough for it, if they don't they won't. No point worrying about it in the meantime.
We Wembley have only won 4 games in the league this year,when in 1a a couple of years ago we won 17 out of our 22 league games!!Huge step up lads in all fairness,thank god caherdavin didn't win last evening.....half of our squad is from out there,would have a job holding onto them if the davin lads went up!!
Exactly, a couple of additions can make a big difference to a team going up. Most people watching teams in 1A forget that they are allowed to strenghten during the off season as well. So ya at the moment the teams in 1A that look to be going up might not be strong enough but it will depend on who they gain and also lose in the off season.
Best of luck to both teams going up.
We've still to win 3/4 games to guarantee promotion it's not over by any means, on Caherdavin, they were the better side last night, they play with incredible intensity any time iv played against them anyway, and as a team fight like fxck for each other. They would do fine I'd think in premier, if they got up. Plus as ye said the catchment they have a lot of players would come back ti them, how many balla Wembley players etc came from Caherdavin??
I agree its not over. Still a lot of games to be played
Pa Sheehan Finnegan Morgan Lewis calla Joyce dillon Dave Quinn all from out that way!!Then you would have the 2 dodo's playing with balla!
Are fairview relegated after last nights result. It's between dromore balla and Shannon for 2nd bottom I'd say. Can't see Summerville getting caught for 2nd IMO
any team that comes up deserves a shot at premier and if they train hard for the season and add a few players any side has a chance of staying up..very important that when you suffer a few defeats that players dont walk away and throw in the towel..
Brian finnegan,calla,Gary Joyce n Dave Quinn have been with wembley since minors so don't think they'd sign for caherdavin.last time wembley got relegated pat sheehan and Barry dillon stayed with them so don't know would you see them signing with caherdavin
Most of the above are gone past it neway ontheball!!!Best off without them!
