Another season surely to be cancelled now on foot of the governments announcement.
ItS very disappointing to see last year go and this year looking highly unlikely especially when the gaa look like they won’t miss out on any championship.
Ultimately the FAI will provide the governance on this but the belief is there will be some return Mid May.
If the season is to go I think once off tournaments should be set up by the AUL within the divisions between May and August.
In groups of 4s or 5s depending on on the size the divisions played on a round robin basis have quarter finals, semi finals and a final.
I know not ideal but it would be something for lads to look forward to and feel they get something for their membership.
Clubs have spent enough over the last 2 seasons and would be nice to have something to show for it anyway.
Not ideal but an idea.
Cannot see anything happening in regards amateur sport. I think a lot of teams in the aul wont return after this. I am speaking about the one team clubs that dont own their own grounds. Can see a lot of them throwing in the towel.
European super league is a little like all the big AUL clubs jumping to the MSL 😂
Most of the teams in the AUL so?
Will lose a few most definitely, a few will probably go MSL but I’m sure a few new clubs might appear also.
Yes standard is dropping, yes the numbers are dropping but I think AUL. Will survive this and bring us all joy back into our lives again(or pain haha)
Will the aul try and get the league games finished in june?? Could you play 2-3 games a week
It wouldnt b a bad idea if fai junior cup and mjc wer scrapped next season just for 1 season and we just concentrate on our own league and cups instead of playing in them competition and we might have an equal and fair season instead of teams having 10 games left if they go far in them competition
I suppose they must be given it consideration to finishing it because they would have cancelled it at this stage otherwise.
If the story’s are anything to go by, silence might because of a max exodus from the AUL committee.
Personally can’t see any hope for a restart makes no sense, don’t no if any teams will jump to MSL, any teams will fold, any clubs like knocka will reform. What if knocka want to come back in they have to wait until last year is finished? Right last 2 years off start new season week after August bank holiday gives everyone one last weekend off after a pre season and drive on again.
The AUL emailed the clubs to say there is no truth whatsoever to the rumours that the league has folded.
On Knocka they will just have to wait if they want back in.
It was their own decision not to play so they would have to wait and if they want back in I’m sure they can understand that.
Kanturk to MSL
If it’s true more teams are gone and going by previous years would seem likely.
There will be a few cracking divisions in MSL and MJL
I wonder how long the AUL will go on for. Will it be 'til there are a certain number of teams or when the committee decide to call it a day and not replace themselves?
Business League have been down to two divisions for a few years now.
1 Team AUL clubs would have no alternative but to join the Business League unless a new "brand" began.
It's a pity thinking back of the strength of the AUL in late 00's. Stacked divisions of quality.
