How are aghaloo still in Div 3? You see them putting up huge scores in that division for the past 3-4+ years only for them to end up bottling the league, championship and league playoffs every year.

They threw away the championship semi-final last year to Fintona in the last 10 - they were the stronger team with most possession but weren't converting that to scores on the board - Fintona got 1 single attack in that period and hit the net to win the game.

Division 3 is incredibly hard to get out of, and then stay out of

Division 3 you need to have an unblemished record to be sure of winning it. One loss and it could mean you won't win the title.

Splitting it into 3a and 3b will be interesting.

Was it a penalty. Remember watching one of there games and for me it was a dive.
Cost the other team the win

What way would the split in division 3 work? Separate leagues - play each team home and away? I'd imagine all teams go back together for the championship then?

Sounds very logical

The club scene is in rude health, the current format for Senior Intermediate leagues and the 3 championships is near perfect

But 3a 3b (home and away) makes a lot of sense too to try and safeguard those at the very bottom for a time as some of the hammerings they receive are surely detrimental and I'm sure all those clubs are trying to safeguard their future with short medium and long term planning

At least if you're 3b and having to travel way across the county, you get the return game back and vice versa, balances out any potential mileage discrepancies people might have felt was a hiderance

Aghaloo defence just not able to cope with Drumquin lively forward lin, unsure of who Drumquin have left but the league is in their hands.

You couldn't predict a game in Divison 2. Form means nothing any week.

Drumquin have 2 games left
Donaghmore and Strabane
Can't see them being caught

Could Strabane throw a spanner in the works?

You answered your own question

[Rebel84]

Clonoe have improved immensely under Kevin Madden and the game they narrowly lost at the weekend to Dungannon was like a championship match. The Rahillys got stuck in and fought for every ball and unlucky not to get a draw out of it, thought the Clarkes penalty was debatable as it could have been blown for overcarrying before the foul but then again Clonoe's 2nd goal was a handpass that didn't get a touch on it. Based on what i've seen Clonoe should have enough for the Fianna in the championship with McKernan and Devlin suspended.

A team unlucky to get a draw and your saying they have improved? Any team worth their salt shouldn't be unlucky to draw... Coalisland beat clonoe two weeks ago. Clonoe need to win on Friday or play offs will be waiting for them. Coalisland beat a dromore team that would have beat Clonoe by 15pts.

[Goals_Will_Come]

Uphill battle for drumragh from here..I wouldn't say Fintona are out of the woods yet either. Tough for all the promoted teams

Some.turnaround for gortin to be sitting top having only finished a place above relegation play offs last year!

fintona will be fine, they will pick up points against clogher and naomh eoghan

Naomh Eoghan, Cookstown and Drumragh cut away at the bottom of Intermediate. Difficult to see them recovering from how it is set at the minute.

[Goals_Will_Come]

Good wins for Trillick, Omagh, Ardboe and Coalisland, keeping it all tight at the bottom.
These games will really get teams up to championship speed.

Pomeroy (11), Trillick (10), Donaghmore (9), Edendork (9), Loughmacrory (9), Clonoe (, Omagh (, Ardboe (7), Coalisland (7).
Trillick be the only team you can confidently say will get themselves to safety. Open season for the rest. Exciting last 5 games coming up.

Naomh Eoghan play Fintona at home this week.
They play Owen roes at home in a few weeks.
Owen roes play Fintona at home in last game of season.
Fintona play kildress and Clogher at home as well as the two mentioned.
Stewartstown play Owen Roes and Clogher.

A lot of twist and turns to go

Clonoe recently defeated a Trillick side who drew with Dromore... so I would agree they have improved somewhat from the start of the season, as they're putting up a fight, probably could be considered unlucky not to pick up 2 points against the Clarkes, when they took the lead late on. In spite of this, they'll still be facing an uphill struggle to survive as you say. The playoff game this year will be incredible viewing with it being almost a guarantee that two big clubs will go toe to toe with literally everything on the line. Hopefully Tyrone GAA stream it this year

Surprising to see Owen Roes in this conversation. They are usually chasing promotion playoffs
