Are these proposals going to lower the standard in Divison 1? the answer is yes.
I look forward to hearing how the All Saints Chairman (member of working group) justifies his club being parachuted into Division 1 and whether he can keep a straight face while doing it.
Who else was in the working group that put this forward? I'd guess a Galls man or someone sympathetic to them
Curious as to why it would work better for us?

1A is division 1 by another name, but the proposal that I saw had the lowest 4 teams in 1A and 1B form 1B the following year.
So if 1A are the teams ranked 1-8 in the county and 1B are teams ranked 9-16, in 2025 that means we'll have 1-4 and 9-12 in the same division and 5-8 and 12-16 in the same.
It's ludicrous.
And div 2 is 10 teams but still has a split? It's completely pointless.
And sure we'll arbitrarily move either Dunloy up to senior and Ballymena down because might as well commit to the poorly thought out idea
Agree with those points entirely!
The proposal you talk of was an option , not the best one at all.
A few clubs took the hump that they'd be in 1B ....so we have a proposed 16 team Div 1. Div 2 spilt + championship games equals a maximum of 20 game season for football only clubs

Saffron Gael coverage is top class across all leagues - fair play
No big surprises for me in Div 1 except Aghagallon's performance and maybe Creggan going to concentrate on Championships
Rossa shoe in for Div 2 and NPol finding their feet in Div 3 and will climb up the league in the weeks and months ahead

Gaelfest is one plan, leadership has changed very recently so that needs time to flourish. The schools have had varied attempts to improve on their worth but unfortunately not enough kids are interested, so if you've not got them at primary school level then they are completely lost come secondary school!
A Belfast league? The reason we go all county is to give kids more games, the reason these games aren't played can be as you've mentioned is schools, exams and so on, one other reason is having games on a Friday night, where travel to Ballycastle is difficult, the sensible fixture should be Belfast games should be during the week while weekend games should be against teams from 30 plus miles away..
how can soccer be played ever weekend on grass pitches from August through to May?! Should we look at changing the dates ?
Rugby at juvenile level is only played at school level competition wise in the north, they don't play for clubs as such until they play for senior clubs or old schools clubs.
At a leadership level putting measures in place quickly to change current systems is harder than we think I'd imagine. If someone put your proposal in place and it didn't work then where do we go?
The beauty of being a member of a club is you can put these proposals to your club committee and they can bring that to the county.
There is something worth looking at in the idea of a Belfast league, maybe as a pre regular league competition or at the end of the playing calendar. Even a south Belfast league would be worthwhile as a mini competition
