bottom 5 of the div 1 at the minute with top 3 in division 2 would make two very good leagues

In all that time of our success I think we won the league once. Now you can take from that what you want but the league has its uses but no one is getting open top buses in the back of them.

After two discussions, in February, it was agreed that two teams relegated and one promoted , with a review of league structures
in September. Three clubs don't like that outcome because it doesnt suit them. They didn't even consider or reference any team in Div 2  being impacted @ e.g. Dunloy - massively impacted in football.
4 leagues of 8 would be best solution for CCC , in terms of fixtures.

4 teams of 8 would be good yes, but for 2025 onwards
Bottom 2 down this year, 1 up as was proposed
Next season, no split, top 8 is 2025 discontinued 1
Next 4 plus top 4 in division 2 is second division etc etc
It means this year's relegated teams can't return straight away

So St Endas, St Brigids and one other?

Who is the most likely?

We've only one actual player so I'd be wondering who else has been suffering more? St Johns have players in county hurling and football that have missed the club season, Tir na Og or Rossa wouldn't be missing many? Leaving Moneyglass, who'll have missed but both them and St Johns are sitting with 12 points and should pick up enough points with all their players back

Rossa's two best players(goalie and McEnhill) would be in the football and then Walsh would be handy enough from the hurling too.

You're right about st johns and the hurling. They'd be missing a lot through the hurling. Also I'd expect Fitzpatrick to play more in the summer. (or in fact maybe linfield start early for europe so not sure?)

Looking forward to tomorrow and hopefully seeing a good performance from Andys men. Be good to see decent support getting there and behind the team too.

Can't say I've seen Antrim play Carlow in football and if I have it's a long time ago

[jdyok]

In 2018 the sides met at Corrigan Park in a game where Carlow created their own little bit of history by defeating Antrim to secure promotion to division 3 with Laoise, confining Antrim to another year in the basement division.

I remember one Saturday evening in casement we played them in division four and won easy enough. Hopefully it'll be the same but no guarantee of anything...

Aye Casement would be the last I'd seen them

I see Ahoghill v Creggan was replayed this afternoon.
4 point win for Creggan. I thought that Creggan caused the abandonment of the original  game .
