Armagh Club football & hurling

[border rabbit]

Sorry maybe sum1 can help me out, i havent really been paying much attention to the board recently, but is this B league idea a reality or a discussion topic ie 2 section, North & South.

[thewanderer]

Border R, the B league will be split into the 2 sections north and south on the same basis as the minor board with probually two divisions in each section to accomodate weaker teams or clubs who can only field 13 per game i think.

 Thanks wanderer. So when will this league start and when will the matches be played, in Mid-Armagh the B matches were traditionally played on a Wednesday evening. Who decides who the weaker teams are?

Definitely think this is a good idea, as long as the clubs grasp it. A proper run B league playing against teams you would come up against in the old leagues. 

[JUst retired]

The B matches will be played on Wed.nights . The B league will be run by County c.c.c. That is the senior board. The new minor board will run from minor down inc.minor c/ship. It is envisaged
that the minor c/ship will be graded,ie.minor c/ship, minor shield & minor plate.Thus giving the weaker teams the chance to win a c/ship at their own level. If all clubs buy into the new system honestly it will be a good thing for underage football.

Will teams enter the minor shield or plate on the basis of when they exit the championship proper or will they be in a secondary competition from the beginning. Not sure it would be a positive step to deny any club a chance of a run in the "A" championship.

Thanks Kiddo but have already got these. I know that a number of clubs have suggested that every club can intially enter the main underage championship and the teams exiting first can enter a shield and next defeated teams a plate competion. sounds a good idea with a little tweaking.

Yip thats the armagh way, under that big carpet.

This lack of serious punishment on the county boards behalf would see as an encouragement for other teams to go round acting like animals on gaelic fields.

Anyway my predictions:
Maghery v Clann Eireann = Maghery
Mullaghbawn v Pearse Og = Ogs
Ballymacnab v Killeavy = Killeavy
St Patrick's v Clan na Gael = Clans   
Carrickcruppen v Crossmaglen =Cross
Whitecross v Dromintee =Dromintee
Granemore v St Michael's= Granemore

[armagh leg-end]

i heard last night that the minor board was going to be incharge of the b leagues!

Instead we get another cullyhanna team put into the leagues for our troubles

Well in fairness, both Mullaghbawn and Tullysaran were bucked out of the U21 for that shite.

[TacadoirArdMhacha]

Just to introduce a couple of facts (not that they are ever particularly welcomed by some posters), we were put out of the championship. As I understand it, it emerged in appeal that we couldn't be put out of the championship without removing us from all senior competition. The county board felt (rightly in my view but then I would say that) that such a punishment would be overly harsh given that the incident didn't involve any of the players who would find themselves without football. The person who struck the referee is suspended for 2 years.

[el_cuervo_fc]

Whereas if a player had struck the referee he would have got a lifetime ban.  typical

[JUst retired]

If a player strikes a referee he will get the same  penalty as a spectator. 2 years, unless he has done it before. Anyone who strikes a ref. deserves all he gets.

armagh leg end.The senior ccc will be running the B league, the minor board only run from minor down,inc the minor c/ship.
