Hey lads, giving this a go. Some people are only interested in Premier and Premier A. Some of the oldest clubs in Cork play in the lower divisions. Also there are great players playing at that level, lets keep everybody updated by posting match reports, team news and general info!
I done my cruciate playing Shandon in a pre season friendly a few years back on that pitch... They were a tidy side then tho
Third divisions look as tough as they were last year with a few new additions.
This is a great idea. I hope it works, it only will if we all contribute. The 3rd division looks extremely competitive, each team in our section have to play each other 3 times. That's 21 games excluding cup games, could be a long season for teams that progress in the cups. On the promotion side I think it's a joke that if you finish second you don't get promoted. The reasoning behind it baffles me, apparently its to keep a limited amount of teams in the second division but I think by not promoting the runner's up from each 3rd division they are weakening the 2nd divisions.
Great stuff lads, I'll try to get reports on matches i attend. It'll be a busy season for myself with Castleview but I'll always have a soft spot for Knocknaheeny Celtic because my Dad helped found the club.
Is that definite lads?
About playing each other 3 times?
Good idea this! I'm interested in Premier but rarely get to see any games so a lot of the chat goes over my head.
Div 3 looking very competitive this time. Fancy a couple of sides from the lower leagues to have good cup runs like Leeview last time.
Cheers for that lads..
Looking forward to it now..21 league games..that's the job
I think its a great idea to play each other 3 times. Even if you do get off to a bad start there is plenty of oppertunities to pull it back. On the downside as Leftside said, 2nd place teams should be promoted. They have extended the season to 21 games in the league so surely there has to be some reward for the 2nd place teams in the 3 sections. The play off round robin is just too much for the end of the season. There was not a whole lot between the teams this year in the play off and all 3 were more than capable of mixing it in the 2nd division.
Spot on schoolboy. Far too many leagues. It's definitely something that should be looked at.
So after this season wed say bottom 3 in each div 3 would go to bottom div mid table 3 next div top two and a relegated div two side next div and so on something like that maybe
