Been a while since I was at a draw....bye law must have been amended....

But why no 'live stream' this time.......?

[themac_23]

What was the seeding system employed...?
The bye law as passed years since was top for in previous years league div one seeded 1-4....
That doesn't seem the case....wonder when the bye law was changed, which convention......?

I think it should revert to straight knockout- there is always dead rubbers in the group format

Straight knock out and if they really want to give clubs more than 1 game throw in a back door system, but the groups are terrible and as you say always have dead rubbers at least with straight knock out and a 2nd bite at the cherry there's no proper dead rubbers

Seems to have been done with 2021 championship standings and not 2022
Cargin should be in group with St Galls&Dunloy

Had thought that myself, wonder do they draw the seeded teams out to a number though

The 4 c'ship semi finalists are seeded 1-4 and are drawn out first into groups 1-4

Having draw with full round of football fixtures on was a strange one. Heard from source at meeting MC namee cup has been damaged by the holders . How many teams have held the cup over the years. Is this a first where it has been deliberately defaced.

Going out on a limb here and say you've never got your hands on the McNamee before? looks well from a distance but is in need of some bodywork.

We all have dreams spike. Hope to get a hold of it someday.

Its an old cup and no doubt will need a face lift at some point, but doubt anything was done on purpose..

Which of the top four has the 'best' passage through to the semi finals?

[Spike]

i think its a bit more balanced this year than the last couple.  suspect the winners of groups 1 and 4 would fancy their chances of making the semi finals but at this stage no one knows what St Brigids will turn up.  The league STB or the +Downey championship STB.  maybe there will no difference
