Replying To SeanMacDiarmada: "I don't think Mohill would agree with the system having drawn Carrick, Ballinamore and Fenagh so far" That's the luck of the draw I'm afraid. Up to Mohill to up their game. It's been too easy in previous years to get a quarter final spot. Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 844 - 22/08/2022 13:29:06 2438275 Link

If they're the best team they have to beat the best teams. Simples really. Their coach o hara won't be happy with losing to fenagh. But its great news for us all. howdareu (USA) - Posts: 220 - 22/08/2022 15:20:23 2438291 Link
Replying To southleitrim_mafia: "you could possibly have mohill or ballinamore facing a relegation semi final after this weekend." With the helpagawd that shall be Mohill. boxty_evaluator (Leitrim) - Posts: 11 - 22/08/2022 16:10:02 2438293 Link
I think I'm right. Isn't only one team is relegated from the senior championship? If its one I'd say it's either my own Melvin Gaels or Dromahaire. Melvin Gaels and Dromahair in relegation final would be a tight match with Gaels slight favourites Co final rematch this weekend. Looking forward to listening to it. I'd love Fenagh to be crowned Co champions this year. No team deserves it more leitrimforsam (Leitrim) - Posts: 85 - 22/08/2022 16:29:06 2438295 Link
Replying To SeanMacDiarmada: "I don't think Mohill would agree with the system having drawn Carrick, Ballinamore and Fenagh so far" That's a pity now for them alright. I have deep sympathies for them lol. This is a great system, and it is luck of the draw. Let's hope some team doesn't try and put it back to the old way. I would argue this should be brought in at county level too. But that is a whole other story. boxty_evaluator (Leitrim) - Posts: 11 - 22/08/2022 21:00:03 2438320 Link
I see the Intermediate is getting interesting already. 4 of the 5 winners in Rd 1 are meeting in Rd 2 this weekend. Allen Gaels and Annaduff looking the teams to beat at this early stage. Aughnasheelin with a full squad would have been my favourites, but the loss of Conor Cullen and others is massive given the form he was in during the league. Aughnasheelin v Bornacoola - Tighter than people will expect. (Aughnasheelin by 2) Ballinaglera v Annaduff - This will be a tight tough encounter in glera, could end in a draw. Drumkeerin v Mohill - Drumkeerin to get off the mark, Mohill will be putting all efforts into saving their senior champ. (Drumkeerin by 6) Drumreilly v Aughavas - This should be Aughavas' to lose, but Drumreilly will target this game and not make it easy. (Aughavas by 4) Kiltubrid v Allen Gaels - Pressure on Kiltubrid already, they need a result here. Allen Gaels have a better team, but i think we could have another draw here.

I wonder will Solan come back in as coach of the leitrim senior team. I personally hope he does. By all accounts a top class coach and person. Champotime18 (Leitrim) - Posts: 442 - 23/08/2022 14:55:10 2438428 Link
Replying To southleitrim_mafia: "On what basis does Fenagh deserve it" In the past 22 years which club haa lost the most county finals and never won the Co championship in that period. That club is Fenagh. That why I'd like to see them crowned county champions this year. leitrimforsam (Leitrim) - Posts: 85 - 23/08/2022 15:04:19 2438430 Link

Would also love to see fenagh win it. southleitrim_mafia (Leitrim) - Posts: 110 - 23/08/2022 15:13:37 2438432 Link
Replying To Square_B: "That's the luck of the draw I'm afraid. Up to Mohill to up their game. It's been too easy in previous years to get a quarter final spot." In my opinion should have kept 2 groups of 5 and had only 3 qualifying from each group. Could still have gotten a "group of death" scenario but at least you were playing all the same teams as everyone else when the points are being added up.

As much as we would lover to see different,Mohill will win the championship, last weeks blip is probably the re focus they needed! PS I hope Solan stays. lecture250 (Leitrim) - Posts: 119 - 24/08/2022 08:30:27 2438497 Link

In fairness Fenagh haven't won a County title since the 30's. So they're due one. Anyhow... long way to go yet. Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 844 - 24/08/2022 19:30:07 2438602 Link
Replying To masseyferguson: "Fenagh have lost 2 seniors in 22 years,Manor have lost 2 more than that in a lot less time.You don't always get what you deserve." Yeah my dates were wrong. In the past 40 years Manor have lost 4 finals Fenagh have lost 4 finals. In the past 40 years Manor has won it 6 times Fenagh didn't win it once.

I was a bit dubious about and confused by the new championship format. But I must say it is very exciting the open draw element is a real throwback to the old championship style but giving everyone a few games. Credit where it is due great inventive call by county board. Has any other county used this system. It could work very well at intercounty level.

Cavan use it but they've 12 teams so I'm not sure how they work it must be near enough the same as us with top two semis next 4 playoff/quarter final and then the next 2 after that must just be safe from relegation but not progress any further and bottom 4 relegation semis. I seen John Connolly wrote another poor article in the Observer talking down the new format because poor Mohill have gotten a tough draw. Fair enough they got a tough draw so far but any other year with the old format they could've been put in a group with Fenagh Ballinamore and St Marys as it was also a open draw so I don't understand the whining. He also said Mohill are more in form then Ballinamore even tho they've both won their first champo game and lost their second game.

Every team plays 4 games, then 8 through to the Quarter finals based on pts and score difference. There is relegation play between bottom 2 teams. 9th and 10th place are safe FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2763 - 26/08/2022 14:41:14 2438759 Link
