Still along way to go yet..Killmallock look to be in a fantastic position for promotion.next 3-4 games should show the league taking a bit of shape.Mungret still have to play Caherdavin twice in their final 11 games which could be important.who else do caherdavin have to play in the first round of matches?
Kilmallock i feel are easily the best side when they are allowed play football and are my favouites to go up. I think its between Mungret and Hill Celtic for second. Feel these two are the next best in the league but then again that doesnt mean they will necessarily go up. At the other end Caherdavin look to be gone already and with the other sides at that end of the table getting results of late it could be anyone to join them come the end of the season.
Hi CCCeltic, who have ye played in yer 8 league games so far? Ye must have lost a good few players from last year to say ye are in trouble.Originally Posted by CCCeltic
what a shame caherdavin will be playing in 1B next year, this time last year they were looking good for promotion to premiere. caherdavin used to have the best underage setup it town and a strong junior setup but now the club looks like it could disappear if they don't sort something out.
great underage teams 20 years ago but the club never progressed off the field
The above scenario will be played out in a lot of football area's in the comming years.i am not trying to give a sociology lesson. if you please, listen to my descriptioin of the facts facing a lot of the older clubs in the CITY.Clubs like Caherdavin, hyde, granville and to a lesser extent boro , geraldines are and will, all suffer from the changing demographics of their catchment areas over the next few years.I grew up in janesboro and we had at least 1 team in every schoolboy grade, mostly local with a few from kennedy and glasgow park. as these player matured to adulthood most either gave up football or moved away to new areas to start thier own families. just going on the janesboro situation there are very few young families in the area.
You also have the situation where people are having fewer children and are not having children untill later. this causes a generation gap and fewer players to call upon.Most of the newer clubs in the suburbs are booming,Regional, Mungret, these are now the areas with the youth available in sufficent quantities.
Any fixtures for Sunday?

Was that the only game that was played?
Ya, according to the radio at lunchtime yesterday it was. Only a handful of games in the LDL played.
spot on hoops, thats where the problem lies, they never progressed off the field and from there players move on to clubs with better facilities. they have produced some very good players even in the last 10 years, karl meehan, david o' neill, mark houlihan, darren keane all won premier leagues etc, shane doran, barry dillon, morgan lewis, corky, pat sheehan, jonny gaynor, shane guerin all came from the club to name just a few. i do hope the club get their act together cos it would be a shame to see a club like that go to the wall, when you think of the likes of chunky dilllon mad as a brush but put in unbelievable work

i heard a rumour recently that according to a certain ldmc committee member that if balla b do win the league or finish second they will get promoted.
I know this has been discussed before and I myself do not believe it but as it came from a high ranking member od the ldmc I said i'd ask has anyone heard anything about it?
On another note who are peoples favourites to be in the top 2 places at the end of the season?
Judging by the weather I don't think there will be 2 many games played until the new year!!!
