Can you name the rule? It's a league which by definition has promotion and relegation. Over the years it has just been accepted that second teams can't go up but there is no rule preventing it. Why can a second team play intermediate championship but not Division 2? If Killoe or any other second team pushed their case to go up there would be no basis to prevent them"
How do you know there is no rule preventing it? You can look back as far as you wish with that division and a second team has never ever been promoted. None. Clubs could change that by bringing a motion at convention. If they did I would fully support it because I think it's silly that winners don't go up.

I think the Leinster Council does.
Anyway does anyone how many teams were in this year's Fr Manning Cup.
Thanks"
8 in total. Longford, Leitrim, Sligo and Clare in 1 group. Wicklow, Wexford, Carlow and Waterford in the other. Longford defeated Wexford in semi final while Leitrim beat Wicklow

I have read the official guide and the bye laws and cannot find a ruling anywhere to state what you have claimed. Ask your club secretary for the bye laws and check for yourself.

Big shock with that result yesterday. I did not see that one coming, well done Mullinalaghta who keep proving their doubters wrong. I heard Killoe were short close to half of what their championship team will be so I don't think confidence will be dented too badly for that

Congrats to Mullinalaghta. Old dog for the hard road. I had predicted Killoe would win the Division 1 and Mullinalaghta would win the Leader Cup, so I was half right. Killoe not short half their team as suggested above. Just didn't push on and win in normal time when the chances were there. Mullinalaghta not the spent force some on here would have you believe. On we go to championship. My prediction is a clean sweep for the men from the laurels.

Well Killoe were down James Moran Eamon Keogh, Darren Moffett and Cian Dooner they also lost Ronan Keogh and Paddy Kiernan through injury. Not too far off half a team missing. Killoe still top dogs I think when it comes to championship

Mullinalaghta were missing John Keegan, Rian Brady and Jayson Matthews plus played the second half with 14 men when James Mcgivney (arguably their best player) was sent off.

At least be fair mention mullinaghta missing rian Brady Matthews, keegan and mcgivney sent off second half. They are still top team all same Knot much between them and kiloe kiloe maybe favourites but no guarantee mullinaghta have a good record vs them

As we're mullinaghta missing a few of their top players and mcgivney sent off second half so wasn't full team either. Wouldn't write them off in championship according some here they had that kiloe would be threat them and mullinaghta look like favourites

Decent start to the Inter championship, no real surprises!!

Kilashee and Connollys closer than we thought although weather surly a factor on a horrible night!

Cashel are never beaten coming form 8 down at half time to draw and should of won in the end!

Gaels cruising for most of the game until Ardagh Moydow fight back with 10 mins to go and unlucky not to get a draw!

This weekend Predictions!!

Dromard vs Mostrim - Dromard by 5

Colmcille vs Killoe Killoe by 6

Rathcline vs Mull Mull by 6

Clonguish vs Slashers Draw

Ballymahon vs Granard Granard by 10

Intermediate;

Kilashee vs Grattans Grattans by 1

Not too impressed with the intermediate standard based off the weekend. Kenagh and Cashel looking good despite Cashel's bad league. Ardagh/Moydow and Fr.Manning Gaels very poor. Ardagh have definitely missed the boat to win an intermediate, just not up to it anymore

Standard was poor across all the games. All games were quite raw i thought with no team showing signs of a system at all.

Yeah it was all a bit of a throwback really, no sign of any coaching or training going on

We are a Division 4 county so a low standard is not very surprising. Most if not all the intermediate teams would be junior or junior b in most other counties. To the real stuff starting this weekend I see wins for Killoe, Mullinalaghta, Granard, Dromard, Abbeylara and Clonguish
