Relegation games now postponed as a club have lodged an appeal with the Ulster Council, as per the local media on Twitter.

Coleraine.

Think it was screen

It wasn't. As per the email circulated, Eoghan Rua CLG have appealed to Ulster GAA. So, the plan to go ahead with the games, regardless of the complaints to the County Board, has now been scrapped and the games are postponed.

Impossible... every man and his dog said it's been all Screen since this saga started and they couldn't be wrong... 😂😂

A complete shambles. Everyone new 4 went down this year. The seeding if anything was put in to benefit the clubs that finished higher in the groups.

Those 8 clubs should have been put in 2 groups of 4 and played each other round robin. Bottom 2 in each group goes down. That way teams have a few games to save themselves rather than a one off match. If that had been the case I'd say there wouldn't have been the same objections. Looks like relegation won't happen this year so it is a bit shambolic but maybe it suits the powers that be also.

Maybe but that's not the way it was set up from the start of the year. To take it to Ulster on the basis of technicality about who they would play in the relegation match based on the seeding doesn't look good for them or the County.

I think this should be run out now on a non seeded draw, you have to have some relegation

I don't like where this has ended up but as a few have said the system for Clubs this year has been a complete farce.

While it was intended to maximise the County's fortunes (and it did that) it did nothing for club teams to play nothing games without their County men for the majority of the season. Then have a fudge of a round robin system and relegation playoff where teams that have maybe won zero or 1 game in the entire season wouldn't end up relegated!

They need to come up with a better system for next year and I'm sure there will be a meeting to try and sort all out. First item on the agenda should be to get rid of round robins and back to straight knockout or a back door.

As a matter of interest I wonder would any clubs in the playoff want to play Intermediate football next year?

Both the Coleraine and Ballinascreen have lodged appeals with the Ulster Council afaik

Hard to know how it pans out now. Players left in limbo for another week maybe training / not training

If I recall correctly the four bottom teams in the league were Claudy, Steelstown, Banagher and Kilrea.

Out of these 4 teams I can only think of Ben McCarron that is on the county panel. Ridiculous that the whole league campaign is made a farce of due to this, Ben is a good player but he wouldn't have kept Steelstown out of that bottom 4.

So clubs who cried about relegation from leagues being unfair due to having to play without their county players are now crying that they are in a relegation playoff after playing 4/5 championship games with their county players. Absolutely pathetic that they have went to ulster on a technicality, when in theory the approach taken would have benefitted the 'better' teams. Coleraine are going nowhere and will be an intermediate team (and maybe lower) in the not too distant future anyway, and Screen are just treading water at senior, a year at intermediate to rebuild would maybe be a good thing. Arrogance and entitlement are awful.

That's about it alright. They should just do the draw again with no seedings based on the championship group places. That's what their appeal is supposedly based on. The very thing that was there to benefit those who won games in championship groups they have the problem with.

Are they an old team? are the McGoldrick's still playing?

[clarshack]

The Bradleys are hardly still playing for Glenullin?
