If you win that championship, as far as I am aware you do not have a choice. You have to play the grade above the following year.

Oh right, I assumed that it was maybe the same as the Junior championship. I think it's better that they go up, teams should give it a go at least and see how they get on. It will give them a bit of experience at least

Pretty sure you don't have to go up - it's a choice. It'd be the same for all championships. Did ballymena not win it before and choose not to go up?

@thomaskane1 @bbcchampionship All Ireland club winning manager Lenny Harbinson has stepped down as St Galls boss

[DearyMe]

Thomas Kane has Twitter??? Big news alright!

[Rasharkin Gael]

Any truth to the rumours that m. magill has left randalstown for st johns?

[NAG1]

Big loss, any reason or was he just looking to play Div1?

[otbar]

Think it is the lure of Division 1 - Although he did get hassle last year within the club - The manager O'kane has also left.  Again cant comment on reasons.

Like St.Galls? Sure they don't even like their own - just ask Twitters Thomas Kane - what would make them like outsiders?

If living in Belfast a move to St. John's is probably his best bet for a 'career move'. I reckon its nothing more than a rumour but assuming it isn't I personally don't agree with it, many a good player has travelled longer distances to play lower division football. Make no doubt about it though, Magill is a very good player and would give St. John's someone to work with off Brian Neeson.

Speaking of St Johns, I see 2 men were charged over the fire at their club last year.

Did I mention Naomh Gall? Very touchy. Twitter? What ya on about?

[subterranean saffron]

MR - didn't mean to come across 'touchy' was only having a friendly dig in return to what you wrote. Who preytell are a 'decent' team, seeing as St. John's are not?

From Twitter:

Thats what I meant by the twitter comment - Thomas Kane breaking the news that Lenny had left. Your views on him 'quitting'?

In future I'll work on my writing skills so that they fully represent what I mean to say

Not exactly breaking news, he resigned the other night and give a statement to the press and it's been in the Irish News today.

Plenty of clubs have managers come ago, we are no different, I really don't think it's news worthy do you?

Nothing in the Irish News about Cushendall's new manager, or Ballycastle's new manager for that matter, very puzzling.

And yes don't jump in with two feet
