The fact that div 3, in particular, has 4 extra games this year than the top 2 divisions, I think that it should have started a bit earlier, maybe when the premier reserve games began. If Down are going well during the summer, James will be looking to pull fixtures off left, right and center, especially considering what happened to Ambrose last season.

March can be a bad month weather wise but September and October can be bad as well but the advantage with March is, if a game is postponed due to weather conditions you have the whole summer to rearrange it.

On the whole I think the county board does a pretty good job with the fixtures but I just feel they should give themselves an extra 3 or 4 weeks because during the course of a season there will be games called off, switched or championship draws to be replayed. And when it comes to the play-offs they can be rushed and played in some dreadful conditions just to get the season finished.

When Kyran Smyth took Bright a few years back, he was wondering why he was so short of players for a match one particular night, only to be told there was a big skittles tournement on and half the team was taking part. You would have your work cut out alba2.

I see what you mean minus15. There are 5 games still to be accounted for. In past years clubs couldnt arrange games the same day as the all irelands, county final day and ulster club games. If Mayobridge were playing a team from Donegal in Newry, Ardglass couldnt play St Johns. I think they should start the leagues in March and try to have the league completed by early September which would give adequate time to complete the playoff and also relieve the fixture congestion for the down clubs involved in the ulster club championship. I think it was Tullylish who suffered in particular from this last year.

That would be a great result. If we won tonight we could be leading the table at the halfway stage of the competition.

They are only teasing you. The Russians will probably knock one in with a couple of mins to go. unfortunately.

With 10 teams in the top 2 divisions this season, 12 in div 3 and 11 in div 4, what is the promotion and relegation situation in div 3 this year. I presume 2 teams get promoted, do the league winners gain automatic promotion? and if so do 2nd and 3rd play-off for the final spot or 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

How many teams get relegated this year? Is div 3 to end up with 10,11 or 12 teams for 2012?

what has poacher been up to tonight?

If you were 20 mins late for work should you not be trying to catch up instead of fluting about on here

4 mins injury time left. Down up by a point sounds a great game
