Divisional teams in the Laois SFC

[SCFC]

Slieve Bloom  linking up with Emo is doing the rounds. It won't be a runner for football if Castletown put in a football team as if there is a football team in a parish Slieve Bloom will have to stay put. Mind you the group status team could allow for junior and intermediate players to play outside the parish.

Good call. Castletown have entered a football team and Emo's Slieve Bloom plan has been refused by County Board.

On what grounds?

Does this mean that Slieve Bloom football players will now have to try to seek permission to play with Castletown/Ballyfin/St. Fintans?

They have in the 1st instance to play within the parish so its Castletown.

Do Castletown normally enter a football team ?

[Pablo Escobar]

Got too the Junior A final in 2014 but withdrew before it started last year.

[SpeculativeEffort]

Have any of these progressed? Football or hurling?

[Downtheroad]

AFAIK Ballyfin are going with Slieve Bloom for Football. That's the only one I heard.

[SpeculativeEffort]

Any idea when the cship draws are on?

Was wondering is one the reasons a lot of Kerry teams win junior and intermediate all Irelands have anything to do with the fact that a lot of these players are exposed to senior club football with amalgamations and divisional teams ? You don't see many senior Kerry clubs winning all irelands.

Agreed but the main reason is the small number of senior clubs in Kerry which means that the intermediate and junior champions are very strong.
16 senior teams in Laous this year, 8 in Kerry. Go figure!

kyle and trumera are an item only one ive known to go through so far, i know that ballypickas were keen to join abbeyleix but it didnt get through abbeyleix agm. Its a wonder that nobody sought out slieve bloom especially mountrath considering that some of slieve blooms players would be in the town, the conroys would be a big boost to any team.

In football, Crettyard will have Spink players, Ballyfin will have Slieve Bloom and Mountmellick will have Castletown.

[SpeculativeEffort]

In football, Crettyard will have Spink players, Ballyfin will have Slieve Bloom and Mountmellick will have Castletown.

How will this work for league? Can spink players play with Crettyard for league in div 1 as well as div 3 on their own? Or do they just link up for cship? That would be fairly harsh on lads that played all the league games. Is this classed as an amalgamation or a group team or what?

Is that confirmed ? Some distance to be going for 2 joined teams if so!

Championship only afaik.
Group team I think is the official title. Think Mountmellick could do well with the Castletown lads.
