Winners Miltown/Castlemaine joined in promotion by Firies & Gneeveguilla
Relegation Keel, Listry, Listowel

[Premier]

Furies, Gneevguilla and Senans to go up

Listry, Keel and Lispole to go down

Could someone post the fixtures up here. They are apparently out.

Firies will not go up, they struggled to get out of Division 4 in 2018
Milltown & Gneeveguilla are the front runners for top two spots, anyone could get the third.

Keel and Listry could struggle this year alright.

[richard00]

Milltown my favorites to be relegated weak from 1 - 15 showed a lack of spirit and effort few times I saw them last year and that is one thing they always had. I fancy senans and gneeveguilla to definitely go up

[bannerman]

Missing the hurlers could hamper st senans, but yes they won't be far off promotion, they were one game away from going up last year

[buck02]

Milltown Castlemaine, Fossa and Gneeveguilla to go up.

Keel, Listry and Lispole to go down.

Might as well update Div 3 as well.

One round plus a few back games to go.

Lispole and Fossa relegated. Listowel, St. Pat's or Firies will also make the drop...St. Pat's play both Listowel and Firies in their two remaining games...if Listowel beat St. Pat's next Friday in Listowel, it becomes a straight decision in the final game in Blennerville on the last day - the loser of Firies/St. Pat's goes down and a draw means a playoff between the two. Listowel have Fossa on the last day and should get points there if they lose to St. Pat's. Overall, it looks like Firies for the drop...that loss to Lispole in June proving very costly

For promotion, Ballydonoghue have already clinched a spot in Div 2 next year. Favourites to join them are Gneeveguilla and Listry (picked by many for relegation). Milltown/Cstlemaine are mathematically in with a chance, but need to beat both Gneevegulla and Currow AND have Lispole beat Listry to force a playoff with Listry.

[ballhopper34]

Back game 9 August: Gneeveguilla 0-11 Milltown/Castlemaine 0-9.

Gneeveguilla join Balldonoghue on 18 points at the top, while Listry on 14 points cannot be caught so that's the three for Div 2 next year.

At the other end, Firies are still most likely to make the drop, while Lispole and Fossa already doomed.

Firies on 7, Listowel on 8, and St.Pat's and Currow on 9 all have something to play for in Rd 11.

If Firies lose against St. Pat's in Blennerville, then Firies go down. Listowel, away to Fossa, just need to match Firies regarding win/lose/draw on the last day to be safe, while a single point for St. Pat's and Currow will see them retain Div 3 status.

[ballhopper34]

Sunday 8th September, all at 2pm, home team named first:

Gneeveguilla V Keel
Fossa V Listowel Emmets
Milltown/Castlemaine V Currow

[ballhopper34]

8 Sept Results:

Gneeveguilla 3-16 Keel 1-13
Fossa 1-6 Listowel Emmets 5-8
Milltown/Castlemaine 2-13 Currow 1-20.

Listowel's win moves them out of the relegation battle, which comes down to the St.Pat's v Firies game. As St. Pat's are two points clear of Firies at the moment, a St. Pat's win or draw sends Firies to Div 4 in 2020. A Firies win means a play-off between these two teams, with the loser going down.

The only other remaining fixture has St. Senan's host Ballydonoghue, where a Ballydonoghue victory will put them level with Gneeveguilla at the top of the table.

[ballhopper34]

17 Nov fixtures:

Ballydonoghue v Gneeveguilla play-off for Div 3 title at Strand Rd 2pm

St. Pat's v Firies in Blennerville 2pm. Firies must win to force a play-off between the same two teams...a draw or a Firies loss sends Firies to Div 4 for 2020.

Pats won

Gneveguilla won at a canter
No Jason Foley for ballydonoghue

A few of our county players never played for their clubs this weekend due to a trip to Cheltenham
Does not sit well with me anyway

Jesus like they probably booked it months ago. The training will probably start again soon enough for the next 10 months. I think they should be allowed a weekend off once every 6 months however unfortunate it was to clash with these games

[ballhopper34]

St. Pat's 0-14 Firies 0-12 sends Firies to Division 4 for 2020.

Gneeveguilla 3-14 Ballydonoghue 2-4 sends Gneeveguilla up as champions of Div 3.

[localhero]

Anyone feel the 2 points for a win need to be increased to 3 across the county leagues? I think you would have less “carry on” with fixtures amongst teams towards the final rounds as the table would be more spread out.

can you expand on this please as to why it "does not sit well with you". these are amateur players, they shouldnt have to answer to anybody what they do or dont do on a weekend in November when to be fair, no football should be played.


for what its worth, they were actually special guests at a club function in GAA in Birmingham and were booked in well in advance. Cheltenham was just an addition to that trip on the saturday.

what is it that Paidi called us again?

[clubman]

I thought the whole point of delaying the last round was to facilitate clubs with county players? At that rate couldnt this game have been played ages ago?
I think at this point clubs might just have to give up on having their county players for the league and finish the competition earlier. Im sure the 20 or 25 other lads training all along would be happier to get it done sooner

The players that had club games this weekend should have pulled out of the trip. There was plenty players that did not have games this weekend that did not have games this weekend and could have gone.
Do you think Micheal Burns would have gone to England if crokes were playing nemo yesterday? No he would not
Players start with their clubs and will finish with their clubs.

Agree with clubman, that county league should be more or less played without county players now. Very good point actually

The county league has been played more or less without county players for quite a few years now.

One or two --- three rounds at a push --- rounds might see county players lining out.
