Was there an offical proposal submitted ? On what basis should they not be relegated.

Yes a proposal to stave off relegation was put forward with promotion of Div2 winners,based on fact that they had county players unavailable.

Don't rule out something like this happening
It happened at the 11th hour in derry last year
As I said before, depends on who ends up in the bottom 2 !!

Yeah if the Johnnies are in the bottom two can see this happen

Or St.Galls god forbid 

Going down did us no harm in the past so whatever happens happens.

very hard to get up from div 2 MR2

We went on to win the senior championship after a spell in div 2 and the rest was history, the league doesn't lie, teams are missing players all year for various different reasons, and not just because of county involvement, its a very small part of it, it should allow you to develop those fringe players and improve the squad.

We had the starred games in hurling a load of years ago and other counties used to have it also, personally I wasn't in favour of them but see how they could be used, but the county commitments are huge now so not sure if that's even available now

Couldn't agree more. My own club have 4 players out with long term injuries. We've been forced to play younger players week in week out. We've lost games because of it but we've progressed these young lads and they look set to play championship this year. Every club has missing players but only some choose to moan about it.

If St.Enda's go down they will obviously pin this on  players from county, if mcCavanagh lets it happen

id like to see a restructure in the leagues back to 4 divisions. Too big of a gap between top of 2 and 3 to the bottom

[EOC1923]

100 percent agree, should be Division 1 - 4 with 8 teams in each or a close to that as possible. The quality in each division would improve

[NorthAntrim]

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

[imtommygunn]

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?)
