Replying To TurnipAyter:  "It wasn't a round-robin, it was a playoff - 7th v 10th, 8th v 9th - with the losers of those two matches playing off to decide who went down. Which is how Dromard managed to get relegated in spite of finishing 7th."
You're right, I forgot about that. Wasn't there a long delay before the final of that was played for some reason??

So if Longford win this evening, the League and Leader Cup have officially turned into pre-season games. Both Clonguish and Killoe missing several first teamers and Mullinalaghta down, probably the best defender in the county. Colmcille only one at full strength. Thats the thanks clubs get for supplying the county team with players.

Why are Slashers in the relegation play off and not Carrick?

Because it goes on the matches between the four teams level on points rather than the league as a whole.

If that is the case, then it should be Granard in the relegation play off. Killoe won 2 and lost 1, Carrick and Slashers won 1 drew 1 lost 1 and Granard won 1 and lost 2.

Killoe 4pts
Slashers 3pts
Carrick 3pts
Granard 2pts

Score difference between the 4 teams in question. Not the points won.

End of the year for the county boys today! Some good progress made with a very young inexperienced squad, the decision to bring on Dessie Reynolds when 15 points down and only recently coming back from weeks out I thought very strange! Why risk injuring a player when the game was long done!

I don't know if you're pulling me leg but if true, thays an absolute joke. Score difference in the league only comes into it if teams are level on points. So surely if we go into a new mini league of 4, the same should apply?!! The leagues just get stranger and stranger!!
