No they go into Senior

No they go to Senior A now as far as I know, Cork have 5 grades with 12 in each for championship

It's Premier Senior, Senior A, Premier Intermediate, Intermediate A & Premier Junior

So they're only 13th so, not as big a fall as I thought.

Yeah and I read something in the examiner earlier that depopulation and lack of land to build private housing in that area has had an adverse effect on northside clubs

A lot of changes in a year in personal and positional switches. Losing players that played for the county seniors or U20s proved to be their fall from grace.

Ballinderry and Coleraine in Derry.
5 senior titles between them since 2010.

Not a matter of if but when for Coleraine. Ballinderry will probably be straight back up.

They've been stuck in Junior a few years now and not much hope of that changing

Ballerin had a great team back then, in an area not that big.

Yip, a real north Derry select with an Antrim man thrown in for good measure.
Only five starters from the parish of Errigal.

Lisnaskea in Fermanagh, 20 senior titles, in the senior final in 2012. Won the Junior yesterday.

Killererin and An Cheathru Rua relegated to junior football in Galway. An Cheathru Rua only relegated from senior last year but lost a lot of lads this year and made the drop to junior after a disappointing intermediate championship. Sad state of affairs for both clubs, long senior football history there. Killererins last senior title was in 2010, a lifetime ago now!
