No playoffs. Whoever finishes first in league wins it also.
How many teams go up/down in each division this year? Are there any play offs?
Cheers.
Anyone having a guess at teams Promoted/Relegated in each division?
Division 1A
Relegated
Dungiven
Banagher
Division 1B
Promoted
Newbridge
Kilrea
Relegated
Drumsurn
Castledawson
Division 2
Promoted
Slaughtmanus
Lissan
Also Drumsun could be a bit of a dark horse this year they have a lot of good young players coming through in the Rafferty's, McHugh,Woods and Murray
Agree with your dungiven banagher + newbridge kilrea, i think Drumsurn can cause a few upsets over the year with young players coming in. Can see Limavady being relegated with possibly vale or dawson.
In division 2 i can see it being Slaughtmanus and Lissan but wouldnt rule out desertmartin either. Good to see Magilligan starting well as they have already beaten 2 relegated sides and sit top at early stage a seasoned junior team showing they can compete. Also Glack with a win over ballerin.
Id say Greenough and Newbridge for me to go up and I wouldn't disagree with us being in the relegation problems again this year along with Limavady. The game yesterday was disappointing as that's a poor enough Foreglen team; it was a close game for the most part but they over ran us for a 10 minute period in the 2nd half which put the game to bed. Experience and power did for us, we had a very young side out yesterday with I think only 3 players over 24 and the full back line and 2 of the half back line being teenagers and 4/5 players playing their first senior game. With Greenlough away next and then Steelstown and Kilrea, it could be a struggle. Whats the story with Dawson? I was surprised to see a few tipping them to go down but they took a bad beating during the week, where they missing men or have they lost a few?
