Struggling to get my head around this one? Ballyfin are only going to play practice matches between now and the first championship game? This is only going to end up in one place!


I'm afraid So!!!!

Simple as....give more then one walkover and you get relegated to the lower division.....great for the other clubs though.....playing football  for survival and only one gets  relegated

This is confirmed, had a players meeting last weekend and had a full debate, got everyone behind the idea.

From what I have heard they have 12 games arranged, between now and championship time, home and away fixtures.

Its strange to say the least...Will lads put the same effort in these games I'm not so sure!What distances do they have to travel for them?

Anybody heard County championship draws tonight. Laois Gaa twitter surprisingly not putting draws up.
It's hardly possible to build anything if frustration, bitterness and a mood of helplessness prevail

Spillane

Killeen vs Port
The Heath vs Portlaoise
Clonaslee vs Stradbally
Emo vs Crettyard Gaels
Killeshin vs Arles Kilcruise
St. Joes vs Ballyfin Gaels
Graigue vs Ballylinan
Ballyroan vs MM
The standout tie for the first round has to be the clash of The Heath vs Portlaoise.Wouldn't be surprised if town were over turned as the Heath will see this as a much bigger game.
Killeen and Port another interesting tie. Be nice to see will a young Port side ever deliver a decent championship run but Kingstons will be too much.
Both Strad and Clonaslee will be happy with this draw. Loser likely to be in relegation.
Emo and Crettyard will be another tight game. Interesting to see if Emo can go again after being 10 mins from a massive shock last year.
Killeshin and Kilcruise should be a tight affair. Go either way.
Ballyfin and Josephs square off again after a mass brawl last year. Can see one of the top 2 reffing this.
Graigue and Ballylinan, can only see a win for Graigue but said that about O'Dempseys and ballylinan last year. ;)
Ballyroan and MM. Evenly matched young teams.

Strange. Good luck to them with that approach. In a way they're right, the league can be shite. But a challenge game can be as bad depending on a lot of variables.

Could/Would the county board refuse them permission to play challenge games?

Simply Ballyfin should not be allowed do this,  okay they get away with this year.  Presumably they are relegated so what happens next year.  If things are that bad for football in Ballyfin then their only option is an amalgamation.  The Rock, Kilcavan would benefit from an amalgamation even if it's only to go senior.  The county board cannot simply sanction their practice games while allowing them to be relegated another division in the league.  I would be very much in favor of a reduced championship with a more competitive intermediate championship.  I for one would not be afraid of more amalgamation the Crettyard/Spink idea while not geographically correct is a step in the right direction.

I see Rosenallis had a big win over The Heath in Div 2. Started very early this year and played in a tournament down in Kerry. They'll surely give the junior a good shot this year?
