Dunloy are playing with a team of dual players a load of them are actually on the county hurling panel also, so missing out for the hurling team as well, top teams would suffer missing out on that quality player, Dunloy have also...

The modern dual club is finding things hard, the league will always suffer

A successful dual club.

On the other hand Hoof what happened to your (MG) under 15s last night...I definitely didn't expect that either!

I would hazard a guess at exam time causing an issue so potentially they didn't field a full team.

I do know MG were considering asking for the game to be called off but  must have went ahead with what they had.

Really there should be no U15 fixtures on for these 2 or 3 weeks.

long time lurker, was looking on county website there, is there no div 2 games this weekend?

After tonight's game it's the end of the regular first round, bar the 2 outstanding games involving Aldergrove
Once that's sorted the 6/6 split will happen

Div 2 split made.......but no fixtures as yet.....
Div one and Div 3 games.....scheduled on Sunday with the exception of Cargin v Casement's (Tuesday 7.30)

On the county scene all eyes are on Westmeath tomorrow but worth noting an emphatic win for u16 footballers today v Fermanagh, following some heavy defeats for our juvenile teams this season, tbh is was more encouraging.

Is there any truth in the rumour that all div 2 games are off tommo???

Wouldn't rule it out as there are unfinished results involving Aldergrove v Sarsfields and Saint Paul's
As I said before I've no idea what this is about, but the Aldergrove/Sarsfields match would have a bearing on top/bottom 6

[Stillwater2]

It wouldn't have a bearing. If Sarsfields were to win it they would go onto 12 points but would lose out on points difference. Goes on points difference between the 3 teams involving games of those 3 teams against each other. Sarsfields tried to refix it before the split though !!

That’s not right… sarsfields have a significantly superior score difference to the team above them.

I am not sure what has happened with the games today but sarsfields Dunloy has a 0-0 result and I think sarsfields got the points so are on the same as gnm but too late. (I think they got the points anyway and not sure what it did with score difference)

The rules for a three team tie have changed from score difference to  a  'mini- league' between the three teams.  Sarsfields were beaten by the two other teams

[imtommygunn]

Ah… thanks.

I imagine if that result is up the rest will go ahead.

Have Dunloy gave up the ghost ?

[imtommygunn]

No idea…

Great result for the ladies footballers.

[bannside]

Indeed. No mean achievement!

Some interesting results in yesterday's round 11 games. St Brigids beating LD at Hannaghstown, Randalstown fairly comfortable looking dispatch of St John's who had taken a big point from Toome a few days before, and a revitalised Creggan grabbing two good points at home to Aghagallon. Glenravel and Ballymena still the teams to beat in Div 2.

[imtommygunn]

What does division 1 split to - 6 and 7 or 7 and 6?
