    Not sure how Buncrana Hearts being included there tallies with the Cockhill talk. Would be madness to have two Buncrana clubs in the new league.

    I reckon there is a strong chance that Shamrock Rovers B and several other Dublin clubs with big membership like St. Kevins Boys, Wayside Celtic or St. Mochtas are in with a good shout.
    There will have to be a regional spread so, expect teams from the MSL like College Corinthians and UCC being considered while Tipperary teams like St. Michaels orn Peake Villa will also be in there.
    Meath DL are another good bet, while Fairview Rangers of Limerick.

    If Limerick FC were as determined when they were in senior football as they have been in clinging on they'd have Champion League group stages under their belt. They are like a fecking wart that just wont go away!

    I've been wondering this too. Are there many supporters that didn't start following Treaty after Limericks demise? Are there many Treaty fans that would go back?

    I'd have thought if anyone didn't follow Treaty afterwards, they'd have moved onto Fairview, Pike etc, rather than pining for Limerick's return?

    Buncrana aren't entering. Balls.ie just pulled a list of names out their arse.

    I'm a little bit worried about the state of any third tier at this stage. Hopefully I'm wrong but it feels like that until we get a Canham replacement there isn't going to be too much solid work done on actually getting the foundations in place for 20 clubs to move to the summer season and join a brand new division.

    The only info I read about it appears to just be hearsay and rumors that get passed from foot to facebook to reddit and eventually get collated in an aggregated list like from balls.ie above.

    I think it's safe to assume at this stage without any actual details on teams and dates that there won't be any third tier until at least 2027 because all these clubs are set to start in their local leagues soon.

    TBF, that's why it would be an "abridged" season in 2026 - they would finish their junior league season in May/June, take a very short break, with the National League then held between September and Christmas.
