From my understanding, games will be played, and championship in Longford will continue as scheduled, with appeal from Carrickemond being dealt with in the background. If Carrickedmond were to be successful in an appeal (they will not win an appeal) hypothetically, games would be replayed / brought back to this quarter final stages again with different match ups. So Longford Championship will go ahead this weekend. There's some silver lining for anyone involved.

They can't go ahead. What if a player gets injured or sent off? And then they bring it back to the Q/F and a team is missing a player when they shouldn't be. That's just ridiculous.

I agree with you, it would be as Ridiculous as it sounds, but were Carrickedmond to win an appeal (as I've said, that will never ever happen) that would be one of the scenarios.

Games will go ahead this weekend. Carrickedmond will not win an appeal at any level that has been addressed as human error and has been amended by a referee. Total waste of time. The Carrickedmond Clubs appeal will go ahead in the background and will not affect the Longford Championship.

Surely in the chair of CCC has said the games are going ahead he is very sure Carrickedmond are unfortunately not in a position to win appeal at any level? Why would they take the chance for maybe the sake of a week, also that same person has sat on many committees and hearings in head office so he must be very confident, it said in article that the ccc decision was unanimous also. Realistically all the teams now have 1 session to prepare for there opposition..

The current situation seems to make a bit of a joke of the appeals process though. The Longford CB are basically saying you can appeal all you want but you are not going to win. Considering they are basically the defence in the appeals process it seems very strange that they can predict the outcome of process before it is completed. The Qtr finals will be set as a direct result of the appeal. It almost brings the entire process into disrepute that one of the parties is proceeding without knowing the outcome.

A mate of mine who plays for Rathcline told me that they were informed the Monday evening after the Mull Carrick game to start preparing for Abbeylara and not Clonguish. They said all teams were basically told to do the same. So IF the games do go ahead, they will have had 2 weeks to prepare for their opponents.

While unfair on Carrickedmond, I do feel they should let it go. Speaking as an outsider, its an awful mess but I think the right decision was made. Carrickedmond will stay up and retain senior status (Kenagh are going to be relegated) - if it was a case where Carrickedmond were in real danger of being relegated I'd understand appealing as much as they could and not letting it go. But call a spade a spade, they would do well to win a quarter final, let alone a semi final (a point agreed with me by a player on the panel). They'll still be senior team for 2025 and can build on what was a decent campaign in a very tough group. Maybe that's being too harsh but something like this can spur a team on for the remaining game and into next year.

Hard to look past Killoe after all the games played. Rathcline/Abbeylara should be a good game at the weekend. Would expect wins for Killoe clonguish and Mullinaghta to set up some good semi final ties.

Hopefully no more unnecessary drama apart from the football!

Carrickedmond are in real danger of relegation. They have to play Slashers in a play-off first and if they lose that then they have a loser goes down match with Mostrim. Two teams are going down, not just one.

I guarantee you not one team has had any part of their training last week or this week impacted by this. Not even Dromard.

2 teams are getting relegated. The losers of Slashers v Carrickedmond play Mostrim to determine who gets relegated and that would be pretty much a 50/50 game. The winners of Slashers v Carrick play Kenagh in the other relegation final and either should be comfortable winners in that.

Kilow favourites but wouldn't write clonguish but volmcile clonguish colmcile could catch clonguish. They can ve written off either. Mullinaghta if they get through their quarter can't be written off either

Dromard look like they could cause a shock now this saturday. Killoe were very lax against slashers in last years qtr final and with the talk of Oisin otoole and Matt Duffy appearing home for the knockout stages of the championship anything could happen. Mullinalaghta and Abbey will win along with colmcille. I think two big performances from clonguish will have taken it out of them and Colmcille will do the business on them.

Killoe
Abbey
Clonguish
Granard

And Carrickedmond in as the fifth team

Rathcline will have a big say also. Kennys flying in the group stages. Pulled up when qualification was assured.

Rathcline will beat Abbey handy enough. They had a blip against Killoe, but they didn't want to show their cards in that game. They will surely be the dark horses to win it out.

I was talking to a Rathcline clubman yesterday and they are delighted to be playing Abbeylara. Really fancy their chances against them and not so much Clonguish! I would fancy Killoe, Mullinalaghta and Abbeylara to win and a hesitant nod towards Clonguish in their game against Colmcille.
