Very tough to see Eslin looking like they are in hot water in the junior a championship after a 13 point loss in Carrick at the weekend. Youth must have been a huge benefit for Mary's. Does anybody know how many teams will be relegated this year? LeitrimAbu543 (Leitrim) - Posts: 7 - 02/09/2026 01:51:18 2692350 Link

Eslin got a very difficult group. 3 best teams in Junior look to be Kiltubrid, Aughnasheelin, and St Mary's B. I think Eslin will survive, but they're still very dependent on the Beirne brothers. They have/had some good young players coming through, but it appears Mohill GAA are keeping the stronger ones for themselves. Leitrim2024 (Leitrim) - Posts: 104 - 02/09/2026 10:42:48 2692368 Link

If not eslin another first team could make the drop to junior B, SOH and Mohills 2nds have the strength to stay up, had that happened yet since junior B and c were introduced? I know osnats were junior B but never got any higher before they folded so would not count them gaelsboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 828 - 02/09/2026 11:33:14 2692382 Link
Im open to correction on this but im pretty certain there is ruling in junior A championship that a first team cannot be relegated, meaning Eslin would stay up no matter what with a clubs second team being relegated anklesockhater (Leitrim) - Posts: 24 - 02/09/2026 13:13:48 2692398 Link

Eslin have been in 2 relegation playoffs before so those games would have been dead rubbers if such a rule did exist gaelsboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 828 - 02/09/2026 13:24:32 2692399 Link

Replying To anklesockhater: "A firm no on that my friend Annaduff will win the intermediate and Drumkeerin will be their nearest challengers just in case im not back on for a while.............. Aughnasheelin will win the junior, beating kiltubrid in the final Im actually undecided on the senior winners yet but im pretty certain it will not be Leitrim Gaels from what i have seen" Not a hope Annaduff wins it ohwow (Leitrim) - Posts: 318 - 02/09/2026 13:45:17 2692405 Link
