New format agreed for next year. 18 teams in Senior Championship. Three groups of 6 teams and each team to have a minimum of 5 games. Semi Finalists from last year to be seeded. This means that two seeded teams will end up in one group. Top two in each group to qualify for the Quarter finals. The three teams that finish third in each group to have a play off for the final two spots. Two teams to be relegated and two promoted from Intermediate.

Any idea when the draw for this will take place? Hurling draw was done last week. kazoochka (Galway) - Posts: 330 - 20/02/2019 11:41:25 2166523 Link
Replying To kazoochka: "Any idea when the draw for this will take place? Hurling draw was done last week." The draws for Football Championships will be next Monday the 25th. I think they are live on Radio naG from 8.30pm EDH (Galway) - Posts: 357 - 20/02/2019 14:12:31 2166572 Link
A guarantee of 5 championship games for each team is great, but I just wonder when these games will actually get played. I fear that it will be mostly put on hold until the county team's interest in the championship has ended and then there will be a frantic scramble to get the county championship played off before the connacht club championship starts.

I heard they wanted to relegate 3 teams again this year to make it 16 for the Senior Intermediate and Junior, but they were told by Connacht Council or Croke Park that it was against some rule that you can't lose that many teams in such a short time so why go 2 up and 2 down ??. They will be relegating 3 again next to make it 16 teams anyways PineappleExpres (Galway) - Posts: 18 - 24/02/2019 22:42:36 2167773 Link

Top 2 teams qualify for q/f from group 1&3, top 3 teams from group 2 (because it has 2 seeded teams) and the last team on highest points from either group 1 or 3. First glance Predictions Group 1: salthill, miltown Group 2: corrofin, A'down, st james Group 3: Moylough, killanin, Moycullen to qualify on points Relegation battle: spiddal, killererin, claregalway, leitir mor, monivea, carraroe mise87 (Galway) - Posts: 199 - 26/02/2019 07:59:28 2168230 Link

Is the 3rd team that doesn't qualify on points safe or do they go to relegation? galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1267 - 26/02/2019 11:07:46 2168282 Link

Group 2 in the Senior is without doubt the group of death. EugeneFox (Galway) - Posts: 160 - 26/02/2019 13:13:45 2168339 Link
Replying To mise87: "Safe" Thanks agree with your predictions but one I think Moycullen will finish 2nd in group C Killanin 3rd. We face our neighbours in the first round so we shall see always galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1267 - 26/02/2019 16:05:34 2168422 Link
My 2 cents Group A Salthill & Milltown Group B Corofin & Annaghdown Group C Mountbellew & Killanin Wildcards/3rd placers Maigh Cuilinn & St James' Litir mór and Killererin down, Corofin to beat Annaghdown in the final. kazoochka (Galway) - Posts: 330 - 05/04/2019 14:11:33 2177815 Link
With so many senior players on the county panel Moycullen should be going far this year. If they don't question marks will be raised if their good enough to be involved in the county setup. Maroonforever (Galway) - Posts: 381 - 05/04/2019 15:09:22 2177821 Link

Now there's only one killanin panel member we must be ready to abuse the players from the neighbouring club. Who cares if the players have shown they have a right to be on the panel galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1267 - 05/04/2019 21:02:14 2177856 Link

I'm just making a point that the Moycullen lads have not performed well with Galway this year. Bar Sean Kelly who I can give a free pass to beacuse of injury. Bradshaw, Cooke and Wynne have all been poor this year for Galway. Maroonforever (Galway) - Posts: 381 - 05/04/2019 21:33:51 2177863 Link
