And we also had our own Government TD thanks so much for this me Ellis. Now all we have is a Roscommon mens please. Thank you.

My name is not Bud thank you. You obviously directly that message at someone else please thank you. It may have been even please and thanks so so much directed to one of your other accounts. That would be rather silly please typing from one of your accounts to your other accounts thanks a bunch of flowers. But I think that is what happened and I'm please scarlet for you. Bye now.

Replying To IronSleeve:  "Nobody is relegated from the league directly. However if they finish bottom two in it they're automatically at a disadvantage because they're lowest seed in the Championship. Bottom teams in the two championship groups in a relegation playoff. One Up One Down."
Ah I get ya, so the championship will decide promotion and relegation from the league and championship, and the league will decide seedings for the championship. That's not bad at all.

Yup, that's it in a nutshell. Still don't know what to do with the Spring League though!

They should get a huge cannon, and get the Spring League, and roll it up into a big ball, and stuff it into the cannon, and launch it as faaaar away as it will go so that we never hear tell of it again.

I noticed Leitrim were beaten in the Connacht PPS A Championship.

But more worryingly I see Carrick CCS are playing in C as are St Clare's and Ballinamore. In the 90s Carrick were competing in the A competition and Manorhamilton and St Felims were B. Manor were narrowly beaten in an B Connacht final at that time.

I don't think that school numbers were bigger or that the coaching was much better

So wondering what the cause of a fairly dramatic fall off is considering the demographics are mostly the same.

Also as winners of the c all Ireland last year shout at Clare's not be competing in Connacht B this year?

Here's a couple of reasons. It took almost 12 weeks to play six group games at u17 level this summer. Then there was a mad scramble to finish the championship before the Connacht club started.

So, even though we are told we've too few clubs and thats why we're struggling, the few that we do have couldn't even be organised efficiently. There are plenty more reasons but an awful lot of our problems stem from how things are run. A lot of our problems are self inflicted and we hide behind excuses. Start using the resources that we do have in an efficient and professional manner and see where that takes us. That hasn't happened in a long time. That's why our standards have slipped.
