Replying To winatallcost:  "Should a team that gives a walkover be allowed to win a league title? Understand perhaps the lower divisions from div 7 and below this could be the case but what are peoples thoughts?"

Replying To ratlag:  "Leagues all finished now and I have to say that I think it was probably the best run League in a long time, little to no fixture clashes between 1sta nd 2nd/3rd teams, and a decent gap between football and hurling (I stand to be corrected but I didn't notice many to close or teams complaining) up until the finals. Personally I just thing any final should be played on a weekend (Fri-Sun) to give teams a chance to celebrate, its a long campaign so if you manage to make a final and win it then I think you deserve a chance to enjoy it.

The only change I would make which has been mentioned here before is that if you finish top of the league then you are automatically promoted and into the final and only 2nd v 3rd play in a semi final, similar to bottom of the league, if you finish rock bottom then you are relegated and 2nd last play 3rd last. My own club Ratoath benefitted from the format this year, finished 4th in the league and ended up winning it, beating Castletown in the semi final who only lost 1 game all year up until that and are still in Div4 next year, this isn't how a league should end up in my opinion."
