Cork AUL 2025/26

[Jason Bourne]

To be honest, the Premier Division has been the weakest league over the past fiftheen years, regardless of how strong Coachford or other AUL teams may have appeared in comparison.

This season however, the standard has declined even further.

If Coachford were not competing, it is likely that a total of around 20 points would be enough to win the league.

The remaining teams are quite poor and would simply take points off one another.

It highlights just how low the overall quality of AUL football has become.

Iv just cleared that up an added a few full stops,articulated it a small bit.

I thought your first one was better small and tidy like yourself wink wink

I am watching AUL football a long time and any fella saying the standards have dropped is being unfair IMO - there used to be a handful of top top players in the AUL, nowadays the leagues are littered with fellas who could be playing Senior no problem. I think we should stop AUL bashing, in terms of the clubs and players I mean, the organisation itself needs root and branch reform. And fair play to Coachford, maintaining that level of consistency should be celebrated and not bashed- up to the rest to close the gap with some clubs trying to make that happen

Absolutely one team running away with it spoils it to a certain degree but that doesn’t mean the rest are poor.

Coachford are one of the best junior sides in the country.

It’s a long time since there has been a team as strong as them in the AUL.

Well on that point I’d like to use teams that have left in the last 10 years as an example, Park, Inishvilla, Pearse, Killreen, Macroom, Kanturk would all be a lot stronger than the likes of village, Castleview, UCC, wanderers

Bohs were another solid side in the premier before folding, even down the divisions the likes of Dillon’s cross, crescent etc would have been a lot better than what’s in those leagues now

The teams still there Knocka, Village, Grattan I think we would all admit were a lot stronger a few years ago than now, knocka were far and away the best side in the league before folding, not as strong now, village for a year or two after getting promoted were a very strong side, they’re poor now, Grattan will always be Grattan but I think the likes of the3 o Sullivan brothers would be an upgrade on what they have now, the standard has definitely dropped and coachford are the exception, not the rule, Glenthorn another side who were very strong 10 years ago nearly winning the premier and now they’re being saved by there not being relegation in the premier A.

There is 100% a drop in standard apart from the team that’s currently hitting every team they play for at least 4 every week

You have obviously not watched the senior 2nd division as village ucc Castleview and wanderers would beat any of those teams you have mentioned . Some who aren’t even senior anymore and have dropped out of that league.
Aul bashing at its finest from someone who knows not a lot
