What way does relegation work this year then? Was it last year they had that mini league because one of the 4 bottom teams was already relegated?

[NorthAntrimSaff]

St Pauls, MG and Sarsfields will play each other in a round-robin

was the year before, Ahoghill voluntarily got relegated last year.
cant remember the 3 teams. Think aldergrove was one

[Would ye whist]

Aldergrove, Ballymena and Whitehill

Of St Pauls, Moneyglass and Sarsfields it was only St Pauls who showed anything at all in the group games. But in all honesty the 3 of them should be relegated along with Tir Na Nog (who are down already) to try and improve the standard a bit.

Let's be honest and add glenravel  to the list, Dunloy done them a massive turn on Saturday  which nobody seems to be questioning.

What is there to question? Playing week in week out, finished top job was done, why not limit the risk of injuries?

Might be better to ask the bookies about what's to be questioned. But the point stands that glenravel should be included in the group of teams to face the chop EOC has suggested (and i agree with him on the point), Dunloy gifting them a win shouldn't mask their deficiencies at this level.

Even a glenravel defeat was still putting Tir Na Nog in 4th spot.
Unless it was a tanking.

Everyone outside of Cargin, Creggan, Brides, Dunloy, Galls, PG1 and possibly Aghagallon are close to the same level.

That group outside of the clubs above are closer to the top of div 2 than they are challenging any of those ^ clubs, bar a freak result.

That's not in dispute, but a gimme win from Dunloy  shouldn't remove glenravel from any potential conversation about getting chopped down to intermediate. They finished below St Paul's in the league and just above us, so they aren't exactly  flying high and Dunloy throwing a match doesn't change that

Not sure St Johns would agree with that one

Think before you speak, there wasn't even a market on the dunloy glenravel game 🤷

League and championship 2 different animals, as EVERYONE on here agrees(for a change)
So Glenravel struggled in the league, that's fair enough
They upped it for the championship and got 3 points so they stay up on merit.

Glenravel struggled in the league because they had Ryan McQuillan, Cathal Hynds & Niall Hynds with the county seniors and Un20s. Cormac McKeown was with the senior hurlers also. Take those 4 out of that set up and of course they'll struggle.
