For what its worth i think dromintee are a fair bit ahead of ogs

That is complete nonsense, the ogs are probably the second best team in the county followed by Dromintee (who would be just a fraction behind the ogs but a game between the two would be a close call) and the Harps. The other teams are on a level power but realistically they would only beat the above teams if they had a bad day at the office and the other teams had a good day. The harps this year would be a decent division 1 team if they were in that league . Corn is 100% correct when he says that league positions are not really enough to judge a team on. For many years my own club used the league to try out players in new positions once they knew they were safe. There were many games called off and the points were given to teams towards the end of the year. Not to mention the meaningless matches that took place at the end of the year. If i had to rank the teams now in the county it would be like so

Cross
Ogs
Dromintee
Harps

Then
Mullaghbawn
Cullyhanna
Clans
Killeavy

Then
Sarsfield
Tir Na Nog
Granemore
Carrickcruppen
Maghery
Clann Eireann
Ballymacnab
I am sure i have left a few teams out (apologies in advance) Now i am not saying any teams are useless because on any given day any team could beat the other but this is how i would grade them based on the last few years of football in both league and championship.

Oh and I'lldecide i think we have 4 division 1 league medals possibly 5 and a second division.

fair enough observation win imo

I have at least 3 div 1 medals if not 4 as well as a div 2 medal but what did we do in the championship (feck all) bar 1 final. So the league means jack shit infact i couldn't tell ya where my medals are, haven't seen them in years. A senior championship medal is the only one that counts and i don't have any of them...( )

You prob ate them! I think since '96 Clans have won 8 division 1 titles and have zero county tiltles. FACT. However I hate teams who have never (and could never) won the league rubbishing it as nothing. Its still a relative achievement to be top after 18 games considerig some of teams in it, but I agree this is nothing compared to a championship run.

who else would have won the leagur in that time?no st pats did one year and obv cross. if thats true thats amazing. you would think a team that wins 8 league titles(not to be sniffed at) would be able to beat cross during that period. suppose just tell you how good cross have been/are

aye last few seasons have got enough wins at the start of the season to keep them up. was talking to clan eireann man 2 years ago said that they had lost 11 in a row then i saw their final 2 games against st peters and tones and where horrible!heard the bar good all right might have get a look at it.lol

winsamsoon · March 20, 2009, 06:04:29 PM

I remember beating cross one day in cross to win the league title and believe me it was a killing match so i guess you could say that one did matter

I maybe wrong charlie but i think Mullagbawn may have won a league title or was it Dromintee?

Confusing myself now.

Definetly tink it was Dromintee now

IVEDECIDED · March 20, 2009, 06:24:04 PM

Yes lads Cullyhana and dromintee won leagues, outside of those two its been the big two every year. (Well the big one and Clans!

)

Nope - Mullaghbawn league champions 2005

winsamsoon · March 22, 2009, 05:03:29 PM

I knew the bawn had snuck an old league victory in there. It was Mullaghbawn then and Dromintee. Cullyhanna finished second one year i think but never won it.

IVEDECIDED · March 22, 2009, 05:40:05 PM

Cullyhana definitely won it. I think it may have been round 2003 - ish.

Yip, think it may have been 04.

illdecide · March 23, 2009, 09:34:29 AM

I think the Clans are in with a good shout of winning the league this year...then again i think i'm thin...lol

Whats your perdictions for the year ahead...i.e. who will win the league and who will go down??? It's a hard one to call now as after 3-4 games you will prob have a fair idea who'll be in the mix and who'll not.

Real1995 · March 23, 2009, 10:21:36 AM

Obv Cross will start as favs...even without their county contingent...their fitness levels should be way above the rest in the first few games....dont know alot above sarsfields or cruppen....but as with any promoted team...they will be giving it their all esp in the first few games.....a good start is so important....

I hope Peter continues on from last year and allows the county players to play as much as poss...on a personal note its not goin to benefit Mullaghbawn but you do rather play teams when they are at full strength....
