Ballymahon beat Killoe Green last night, but relegation is inevitable for them.
The only way they will stay up, is if they beat Killashee by about 20 points.
The two Killoes will orchestrate a result to keep the White team up.
They have nothing coming through and unless they go hard at transfers next season, they could be Junior for a few years to come.

'orchestrate'... pathetic stuff.

If Ballymahon lose to Killashee, they will go down with one of the Killoe teams. Killoe White beat Ballymahon (by 10 points!), so will finish above them if both lose, unless Killoe White lose to Killoe Green by at 16+ points to put Killoe Green above Killoe White in the three way tie, and therefore relegate Killoe White instead of Killoe Green. So if Ballymahon lose, the only thing Killoe could 'orchestrate' is which of the two Killoe teams goes down, a choice which doesn't matter one iota to anything!

Oh, and the two games are on the same day and same time!

But yeah... 'orchestrate'.

You only mention Ballymahon losing, what if Ballymahon win? Three teams on four points where no team has beaten the rest so it then comes down to score difference? Both games on at the same time is not relevant when people can easily communicate what is happening. It would not be the first time the orchestra played in perfect harmony
