most important club to your county

[Declan]

Actually I think arguments could be made in the case of Meath football that the most influencial clubs at the minute are either the Vortex(or whatever its called now) or the Palace.

Juice the vortex is no more. Clubs of choice are now Chasers in Dunboyne, Bed in Ashbourne or the Palace

Cornafean did draw their great teams from neighbouring clubs as there was a rule at the time stipulating you had to play senior club championship to play for Cavan.

The Reds might have a few lads playing Senior Championship next year, if the amalgamations go ahead. Think it will be the only way they will ever win a Senior Championship in the future.

I honestly think that will ruin football in the county if that goes ahead

What is the story there, is it related to the restructuring of the leagues?
I was looking through the Cavan board and could see no discussion on it.

I think Tom Reilly the County Chairman has a vision of turning Cavan into Kerry in the Future by replacting their County Championship. It was mentioned back around March/April this year and is going ahead as far as I know.
It will lead to a congested fixture list. The League's started this year back in Feburay, the Division Final is only being played next Sunday.

Divison 1 Senior League will have 10 teams next year. 7 teams were relagated. Senior Championship  will cosist of those teams and a a few amalgamations. 20 teams will play in the intermediate. Some of those will be part of the senior under the amalgamations. Going to be a bit crazy...

Cavan club football has gone from bad to dire. Something has to be done to try and address this. I think Tom is trying to do something to raise the standards and while there will be problems I think it is worth a go.

It should improve the Quality. That wouldn't be hard as the Co final drawn game and replay this year was dire stuff.
The likes of Lacken wouldn't be a big club like Cavan Gaels. For them to compete against an amalgamation of say, Gowna,Arva,Cornafean and Killeshandra would be a big ask. Struggle to beat Gowna and Killeshandra aldone.
I don't know what way they will work, it out, have seeded teams or what.

An Erne Gaels team, of Belturbet, Redhills, Butlersbridge and Drumlane would be another team Lacken would struggle to beat and a few other most other Senior Clubs, bar Cavan Gaels at full strenght.

It will be interesting...

The most important club in Roscommon has to be Ballaghaderreen purely from the point of view that they play their football in Mayo.

'Tis grand to have the Mayo county championship on the mantelpiece, to be sure
