PROPOSALS FOR NEW LEAGUE STRUCTURE

The proposal would be to move to a 12 team league in division 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E & 1F. By moving to this is would mean that there would no longer be a Division 1G and this is based on the assumption that the teams who pulled out of the division this year will not be participating next year also. When the leagues are finished have a look at where you have finished on the current 2011 league table, and see where you will be positioned on the new proposal for 2012.

Well done DavittMan

I have to say that I am not sure if I am in favour of these changes as it significantly weakens divisions 1B, and subsequently further weakens lower divisions even more as more weaker teams are promoted. As you can see, division 1C has 3 teams that would not normally be playing in that division (as 2 normally get promoted).

All its doing is diluting the league so it will come to a stage where you have very strong teams in a division hammering teams at the bottom and maybe not even getting promoted themselves.

Also, a club fielding two teams playing Senior/Intermediate and Junior; there is hardly a free weekend as things stand so with more football to play there is less weekends for championship and for fixtures. Also the likes of the Kelly cup and other cardinal directional cups and senior summer leagues will become even more meaningless.

I would have been in favour in having 10 teams in each division which would make it very competitive and free up a couple of weekends. I dont believe that it is right to play the county final so late in the year and forcing clubs to play league late in October, and maybe even early November if this goes through. This is a joke if you are out of the championship early.

And I would also change the inter county rule to 13 days (if that is not done already).

Also I dont believe it is right playing games on the Sunday of a bank holiday either as these weekends are important for players with familys and girlfriends who may make plans for family occasions like christenings and weddings or just want to get away.

Having another league game (or two if you are playing senior & junior) in the season is not solving any problems.

Well at least Mitchels got 1 out of 3 this evening in U21 CF @ Mchale park.

Won 3:9 to 3:7 against a good Hollymount-Carrowmore side. Could also have lost this one but well done lads 

Kirby is a fine footballer.

I still think we should have beaten ye that night in quarters. One that got away in my opinion. Others think different I'm sure.

Would'nt argue with you there Farrandeelin. That was a good well balanced backs team, we had to rely on our big guns to dig it out.

Season is officially over now in Mayo. Congrats to Ballintubber on doing the league and championship double in 2011.
