Why not? We have a reserve hurling championship that night. Christ knows where it will be played as we are homeless!!

A mate of mine - who claims he knows about these things - says that St Gall's rarely play Cargin a second time in the league as between them they usually find some excuse to put it off while they focus on championship and then by the time it comes round to be played, the league has been decided and it's not played. Probably an exaggeration, but they'll not be much appetite now from Cargin to make the long midweek journey up to play the "final that never was"!

Well if we beat them we can go top of the league and win it!!

Would be great for training for the rest of the championship.

So were peoples predictions at the beginning of the year accurate then regarding promotions and relegations?

OverThePostsAWide · August 25, 2011, 01:15:51 PM

St Galls 4-7 1-12 Cargin Sarsfields Round 16
Creggan 3-14 1-7 Moneyglass Creggan Round 16
St Brigids 1-5 2-15 Rasharkin St. Brigids Round 16
Aghagallon 2-11 0-14 Lamh Dhearg Aghagallon Round 16

Usual mixture of turn-ups in the end-of-season/post-championship rounds.

Are St Gall's going to win their first league title in God knows how many years?
That's a tanking for St Brigid's going into championship against St Gall's - they must have been resting a pile.
Good result for Aghagallon - they have their tails up.
Moneyglass are in diffs - the result of their matches against Aghagallon and Ahoghill will be crucial for their survival.
Relegation is a 3-way fight between them.

Any word on how the Ahoghill v St John's match went last night?

Heard that Lamhs couldn't play certain players who might get suspended due to the battle of Casement.

Surely if nobody was sent off they'd be ok to play until told otherwise?

Milltown Row2 · August 26, 2011, 08:00:05 AM

Of course but if they are suspended at a later date that suspension will start from their last game!! So they would miss the final, should they get there.

Joe Brolly/Fergal Logan/Perry Mason will be busy then!
