NFL Division 3 2013

It appears that the Monaghan v Antrim game will be in Clones, and not Inniskeen as originally scheduled.

Are they going to tell Antrim?

[Rossfan]

We were awful today. We are missing so many players it's unreal.

There was no fight in us, no leaders.

We r missing a player James Loughrey  He's moved to cork and will start for them in championship.

I'm sorry..... what?

What date was that posted ?

[SLIGONIAN]

Actually another thing is we Sligonians should be thanking the Rossies for beating Monaghan last week and making them have promotion to play for this week. If they had won theyd be promoted already and probably field a weakened team this week. Thanks Neighbours.

Probably not to be honest. O'Leary, Kissane and Canty is a strong HB line plus there's a few younger boys who are pretty good in there too.

He's brilliant by antrim standards but cork standards would be a good bit higher.

Loughrey would start, and I have no doubt that if he is given the chance he will prove that, and a lot of people will be surprised how good he actually is (maybe not in Ulster but beyond.)  Clancy looks decent at half back for Cork, from the little I have seen of him.

Interesting tie this weekend from a Fermanagh perspective.  How will Meath play considering we will play with a lot of players deep?  Monaghan pushed up on us and smothered us coming out with the ball, to good effect.  Sligo tried the same, which worked well initially but they couldn't sustain it.  Meath are usually good at transferring the ball quickly (and IMO our main weakness is McGuinness at FB.)  Shane McCabe at CHF is a small nippy play maker, Kevin Reilly will not be suited to him at all.  Sligo made the mistake of leaving their CHB on him for the full game.  Leaving Reilly free to hold the centre might be a better option for Meath, but McCabe thrives on space so he will need watched as well.  Looking forward to the game.

We also fielded a weakened team against you in 2010 to allow promotion for our good neighbours anyways

and sligonian you do have the comfort of knowing that relegation to DIV 4, with a route of London and Leitrim to the connacht final did us no harm at all in 2010. But all that being said, Antrim won't take anything from monaghan so i'd expect you'll be safe enough

[Croí na hÉireann]

Connacht is the only division you could win after getting relegated to Div 4. Time for it to go the way of its sister hurling championship.

[commonman]

its not that long ago that offaly won Leinster from Division 4

[Syferus]

So who are the new evacutees we might have next year? Longford have booked their ticket while the Apples would make for a whole hell of a lot of fun if they make the drop. Don't fancy either of the eventual D4 finalists to have the impact Fermanagh had this year so there could be a bigger than usual oopening for whatever three teams remain in D3 after Sunday.

[boojangles]

The most important thing this weekend is making sure the stone throwers do not achieve (a thoroughly undeserved) promotion this weekend. This should be the priority of all counties in all four divisions this weekend so I hope there will be multilateral talks and cooperation at all levels. Tyrone, Louth and the Dubs are already on board for obvious reasons. Canavan has been on to Mugsy who has dyed his hair black and will line out for Fermanagh under the name Mugsy Malone. Paddy Keenan and Alan Brogan have also offered their services for one day only. We can get this done lads with one final push.

[rodney trotter]

Be sick if Meath went up, but that's what is most likely to happen..

[Syferus]

I dunno. Fermanagh look a better team and could easily pull out a result in Navan.

Maybe if Fermanagh had them at home at the start of the league, like Monaghan. But it's hard to see past Meath winning in Navan, now that they've steadied the ship somewhat.
