Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[jmcgdoire]

What are Derry going to do to get the league structures in order? Teams refusing to play the relegation play off this weekend for the 2nd year in a row. Where do they go from here?

Which teams are refusing to play the relegation play off? It did seem this year that the structure of the senior championship was pretty clear with two teams relegated to Intermediate. You would think if a team doesn't turn up they would lose the game and be relegated. Better off playing, maybe winning and if you lose try and find a loophole.
Although the best solution would be the rules are set properly, clearly communicated by the county board and clubs adhere to them.

After last years relegation fallout I was  under the impression that the county board had closed all loopholes etc regarding the relegation process for this year, so that the clubs couldn't decline the process.

Teams will still chance their arm. Infuriating behavior and just sore sore losers. Ive heard lavey are trying to appeal their league relegation too! A bad precedent has been set now and it needs to be squashed asap!

Clubs are too arrogant.  Think their senior teams are better than they are but finishing in bottom two, after play-off.

A joke. They knew this at the start of year, in league and championship but still whinge because they've been rubbish this year.

Derry County Board need to be stronger and sort it out.

This is twice in a row. Not good enough.

The relegation play offs called off for tomorrow? Farcical stuff lads. Seems as though if you are one of the traditional powers in Derry football you have a right to play senior no matter what happens on the pitch

[LoughNeagh]

But they aren't called off?

[Hoof Hearted]

Fixtures still on website
So are they on or off ?

[LoughNeagh]

They are on. Some shite talked in on here

[ClubScene13]

But they aren't called off?

Rumour mill in over drive I was told this by a man taking the field tomorrow. I am glad to hear there has been a change of heart. Let's hope for no appeals now in the aftermath

Swatragh
Loup
Glen
and Magherafelt to win.
Ballinderry intermediate Ulster champions 2024.

If a club didn't field for a relegation fixture then they should be put straight down due to not fielding. Too may clubs think the rules don't apply to them.

[Champion The Wonder Horse]

Swatragh 2-7
Ballinderry 0-12
Full time.

Loup 2-12
Coleraine 1-12
Full time.

[clarshack]

So Ballinderry and Coleraine in Intermediate next season then.

Just seen Skinner score a great lob of a goal in the Glenullin game.

[imtommygunn]

12-2 win for magherafelt in the semi. New bridge will be disappointed with that score.

[Real Talk]

And Lavey even more disappointed

Wonder how much the streaming failures is costing the county board??

Streaming service is fairly poor even when it is working.

Tyrone much much better with replays of scores and key events straight away. Better zoomed in camera too.
