A split Div 4 as PAULD123 says would be a better proposal, but i would leave the championship alone, straight knock out is what makes it so good.

Who does it make it good for? It makes it good for 3-4 clubs who can win it. But what about the clubs that are the bottom of the pile? Good enough to win or at least challenge for an IFC but no where near good enough for SFC. The championship is a total waste of time for many clubs. These clubs are being made play at a level above themselves.

Why not have everyone play in a single preliminary round (seeded of course) with winners playing in SFC. Losers all go to IFC where there is a second preliminary round with those losers going to JFC. After that championship runs as we currently know it with straight knock-out. This would allow a team to find a level where they would have the chance to win soem kind of championship.

I accept the number of rounds/games/seeding system would need to be considered carefully. But I put this out as simply a proposal in principle. I just want everyone to have a chance of winning something.

I meant to add "in my opinion" it's what makes it so good, I like the championship the way it is.

Proposal for re-structuring of Division 3 and the doing away of Division 4

3A                       3B
Ballymartin          Drumgath
Tullylish           Kilclief
Carryduff           Darragh Cross
St John Bosco    Glasdrumman
Glenn            Atticall
Ardglass          St John's
Dundrum           Mitchel's
Saul            Drumaness
Bredagh            Dromara
St Paul's               Bright
Teconnaught       St Michaels
Aghaderg             Aughlisnafin
Ballykinlar   
   

In 2012 there would be no Division 4 but rather a Division 3a and 3B this would be an honest attempt to assist those smaller Clubs with more regional based fixtures which would have hopefully the two fold purpose of cutting down travel costs but in turn maximising home gates. [/quote]

how would Aghaderg & Ballykinler benefit by playing Ballymartin & Tullylish? and St Michaels & Aughlisnafin by playing Kilclief & Drumgath?

A Glasgwegian lad takes his girlfriend home for the first time.
He says, "This is Amanda."

His dad jumps up. "It's a f**king what?"

Right folks, I have a laptop which is a few years old. Today I turned it on and it went through the usual noises but nothing appeared on the monitor. I connected it to my pc monitor and it appeared on it. You can just make out the faint windows desktop on the laptop. Is there anyway of getting it fixed?

A man on a long haul flight noticed the beautiful young woman sitting next to him was reading a book titled
''Strange but true sexual facts''.

"Interesting?'' he asks.

''Yes'' she replies, ''For instance, did you know that the American Red Indian has the longest penis in the world and a Irishman has the thickest?

Oh, I'm sorry" she continued,

"My name's Helen & yours?" ...

''Tonto Murphy"
