Foul missed by referee. Goal the other end. That's how it goes. Can bannsides men go on and stop cargin ? One wonders.

[Spike]

Never a foul..shoulder to shoulder.   Every clash can't be a free.   Very disappointed in St Bs.  To say they lack cahones insults eunuchs

[Delgany 2nds]

Are you sure?

Yeah.   Unfortunately I paid In to watch that.  As soon as cargin got back to back points I said this is over.   You could see st bs legs and belief disappear.   The hard man act and 'hold me back' routines have got very old.  They were lucky to have 15 men on the pitch after some questionable cynical tackles.   I was expecting far more from them but they the simply don't appear to have the bottle to dig deep when it matters

And they never will. A gather up on and off the pitch.

That all could be true but that was a free in every single day of the week.

Still, the ref gets one look at it from whatever angle he happens to have and mistakes happen. That's not going to change.

SFC - Relegation PO Final
Full time
Glenravel: 4-17(29)
St Endas: 1-8(11)


St. Enda's relegated to Div 2 football and IFC?

[Spike]

If that ungiven free (which I don't believe was a free) helps st brigids sleep tonight then they should hold onto it.  The supporters leaving en masse with 10 minutes to go tells its own story

Glenravel winning league and championship relegation play offs in the one season.

Are st Teresa's promoted to division 1 now?

[Hectic]

League route:
Moneyglass down
St Paul's up

Championship route:
St Endas down
Intermediate Championship winners up

Are st Teresa's promoted to division 1 now?

Yes, that is within their gift. Ballymena already in Div 1 ,St. T runners up in league already,  so promoted to Div 1 by right

I don't believe this to be correct.

I'm sure we will find out in time but my understanding is that it would have taken a St Paul's win yesterday to guarantee St Teresa's a promotion spot.

Ballymena were division one in league but intermediate in Championship.

So if they win the Intermediate Championship then they get promoted to Senior Championship and replace St Endas who were relegated from the Senior Championship today.

St Teresa's are promoted to Div1 as Ballymena were already Div1 next year. If they had lost yesterday they would have played Sarsfields (if they lost in the final) in a playoff as St Teresa's finished 2nd in Div2 as was explained on previous posts. Ballymena only played Intermediate this year because Dunloy couldn't as they were graded at Senior level for reaching the SFC final last year. All in all a bit messy I agree but we have an interesting IFC final were both teams will be playing Div1 football in 2025 so should be worth a watch

Ballymena looked to be missing keenan and Michael McCarry is it? who would be decent for them and still won handy enough. Hard to see them being beat.

Been a very odd relegation/ promotion setup. Hopefully clearer next year.
