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

Put away the tinfoil hats, Killoe were very much against having two teams in division 2, so if anything they'd be more likely to send one of their own teams down. The biggest issue is how on earth it has taken until the middle of July to finish up Division 2 when Division 1 finished it's relegation and leader cup last week with a week's break between semi final and final despite starting a week later then division 2. A group of 4 to decide relegation is absolutely mad just as it was in Division 1. I don't blame Ardagh Moydow one bit if they felt the senior championship was too close to the patsy reilly cup. Them and dromard should have been given a better chance to prepare themselves for championship

Don't be getting your knickers in a twist! Killoe have previous experience of 'manufacturing' a result!! Anyway, going by results this year, Ballymahon deserve to go down.
