Antrim Div 1 Hurling   
Ballygalget    1-18   1-17   Loughgiel

That win for Ballygalget sees St. John's relegated and no city teams in Div 1 next year.

Will all teams who have failed to fulfill their fixtures before the 22nd be fined and lose a point?

[NAG1]

Think they are making a difference between failing to field and not fulfilling matches due to the cut off point.

Being pedantic but if all fixtures were scheduled prior to the cut off point then that doesn't make sense.

The Antrim web site has fixtures scheduled up till christmas day  but some of the outstanding fixtures were supposed to be played in July and surely to god should have been fitted in before now.

The admin on the Antrim web site is always giving out about clubs calling games off at a whim and he/she may have a point. If all clubs who have outstanding fixtures (which had been properly scheduled in the first place) were fined and docked points there'd be a bigger onus on teams to fulfill even if it is their U-21 team 

[NAG1]

Yeah I agree completely with you.

The clubs are going to have to take responsibility for our games. Instead of calling a match off because there are one or two missing think of the other 28 guys who are actualy available to play. Clubs need to get away from the attitude of being afraid to be beat as opposed to just going out and trying to win.

i'm with ya lads, games should be played all the time.

i've never asked for a game to be cancelled all year. i even tried to arrange games with Gorts and looking to play games this weekend (sat)

what happened with the under 21's was wrong i've already stated that.

Minder, the answer wanted was "no"!

In all seriousness though it's ridiculous to still be playing matches after the clocks shifting. If you have any 15 plus subs available you should play the match.

I know what you are saying - but it's the same conversation at this time of the year, every year. Most teams do as much as they have to to stay out of trouble, then there is the mad scramble in November each year for the few still with an interest at either end of the table. In general, nobody gives a monkies about the leagues any more, otherwise they'd play all their games. That's a good suggestion a while back - failure to field & failure to fulfil should be made the same offence - impose fines & dock points, county makes plenty of money, everybody happy, season over in September !

[milltown row]

a good answer to this would be to have playoffs, games can be played all year with or without county players.

top four play off for the league and the bottom four play off to avoid relegation. these games to be played after our county team is out of the championship as all players will have their main players back. no excuses!!!

what ya think?

[theskull1]

Sure the playoffs would be played at this time of year.....

[The Buzz]

whats your beef nag?

[milltown row]

Sure the playoffs would be played at this time of year.....

not if we play the games throughout the summer when we usually have a break for a month!!! leagues finish earlier then the play offs when ya have all your players

So you'd be playing playoffs at the same time you'd be playing championship...is that right?

[NAG1]

Yeah but adding play off your adding another layer off complexity to the mix.

I dont mind the idea of a play off system because it does bring some meaning to the leagues in that you want to make the semi-final or you want to avoid getting drawn into the relegation play offs. However we would need to get the games that are scheduled played first.
