Quote from: Round or stuffed on December 11, 2025, 12:34:15 PMWhat happens in the case of intermediate championship, there was no relegation play off for the second year in a row, are Gort na mona relegated. if so, who replaces them as st. agnes' won both league and championship, Pearses beaten finalists but finished 5th in Division 3 league, are they capable of competing at that level, Laochra finished 2nd in the league but won 1 championship match and finished third in the group. what is the answer there

I was under the impression Gort were down as Rasharkin were relegated already before finishing bottom of the group

Round or stuffed

so who is promoted, we had the same situation last year where only one came up and one went down

Don't forget that Dunloy got promoted to Division 1 after finishing mid table I think in D2
A shambles.

If we ran a similar system to Tyrone, which you have asked for in the past, that could also happen.

Maybe if some hadn't of pushed for senior championship being aligned to the leagues that wouldn't of happened. Dunloy would still be in Div 2 and playing senior championship.

Apparently you cant be good enough for senior champ football if you arent playing div 1 league in the eyes of those who pushed for it.

But we arent, and were comfortable in Div1 as we are now.

I don't know. There was talk a month or so ago on this thread that there would be restructures potentially 2027. Why are we waiting when everybody is in agreement the leagues are a disaster. Should be an absolute priority to change and improve the standard of football across the county.

But obviously your club delegates are not putting in new motions to change it.. considering it's a disaster you'd wonder why

How many clubs is there total in Antrim ? Would 4 divisions be a good idea probably making each more competitive ?

counting 34 as per a previous post

8 divison 1
8 divison 2
9 div 3
9 div 4

However they may be some teams very strong for the tiers 3 and 4 but would make competitiveness at top end better as they say iron sharpens iron

there's been talk of this on this thread, so potentially it has been put through by some clubs. I don't know. Maybe it begs the question why no club has put this through? Can't see a single club the current format benefits. And does nothing to improve Antrim football.

You're missing that clubs were relegated/promoted.

Call it whatever you want but a similar model to Armagh 1a, 1b etc would be far better for Antrim football. 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b nearly every single game is competitive.

All good intentions and ideas here on this board but nothing gets done without the club's voting and agreeing it.

It starts at club AGM's and their motions are carried through to the county convention
