Waaaah? What's the story there?

Junior championship in Fermanagh was a championship for reserve teams and 2 teams whose first teams completed in the reserve leagues.
When the ulster club at junior started the Fermanagh champions were not allowed to compete because it was always one of the reserve teams that won it.
So to get a representative the two first teams who competed in the reserve leagues played a one off game.
That ended when both these teams made the leap to play division 2 senior football and competed in the intermediate championship.
That left no Junior championship in Fermanagh.
Next year it has been reintroduced and the league restructured this year.
Those teams that finish in league positions 1-8 in division 1 will compete in the senior championship along with the winners of the intermediate if the intermediate winners did not finish in those league positions. Team finishing in the lowest position will drop down to Intermediate.
Those teams that finish 9 and 10 in division 1, plus the 5 teams in division 2a and the top team in division 2b will compete in the Intermediate championship.
The teams who finish 2-5 in division 2b will compete in the junior championship.

Any competitions finished or at finals stages yet?

rodney trotter · August 18, 2014, 08:01:44 PM

It would be early yet for any to be complete. September/October is when most are finished.

Why didn't Fermanagh just have the Junior Championship as the Intermediate 'Shield' or whatever? Is that not allowed?

rodney trotter · August 18, 2014, 09:25:07 PM

Doubt it, Fermangh has the smallest amount of Gaa clubs of any County in Ireland. 22 i think? They don't have the numbers for a even amount of teams in each championship - Senior - Intermediate - Junior, so it's just Senior & Intermediate.

They seem to be trying something different next year as was said above,

FermGael · August 18, 2014, 09:35:55 PM

21 clubs but Lisbellaw only play hurling.

Is it still the norm in some counties where it is possible for the club to pick which championship it is entered into?

there have been a number of one sided games in the past and one i can remember my own club playing a team from donegal who were competing in a higher league but junior championship

Not in Tyrone. The team that enter each Provincial Championship have won their County title, and are genuinely at that grade.
