Replying To gowna02:  "Heard last night final round of fixtures will all be played together at one time
Play offs will be following wednesday night and relegation games/ quarters will be the weekend of the 2-4 September? Could this be correct would be very hard on teams who are in play offs"
So there will be no free weekend after the 4 games before the Quarter Final stage like originally planned? Some clubs will have to play 3 Championship games, a League game followed by another Championship game, maybe a play-off and then a Quarter-Final or Relegation game, all without a break? Absolutely ridiculous if true.

I dont think Ramor have the stomach for it. They haven't shown much this year in league or championship. Its Gaels' championship to lose. Brian O Connell is a huge lose for Ramor. In my opinion he should be in the list of players who can push for a place on the senior squad.

I agree Conor Bradley and David Brady should get a shot at it too! It would be great having Barry Reilly there but it doesn't seem likely. Luke Fortune has been outstanding any time ive seen him play. Maybe a year or two early to make an impact but I'd like to see him brought in to develop and get to grips with the setup.

I am not sure Brian O'Connell is even in Ireland, do you think the county needs to bring in players two years in advance of them getting a chance at senior level. Don't you think it costs enough all ready to keep the present set up going. One thing I would be in favor of would be long term injuries player's being kept on the panel I feel they should be returned to their club but with the support of the county to help them with their rehab. This way you have a panel of fit available players to work with. Just my thought on this however.

I don't like the way castlerahan isn't being talked about as much as other years.
They are obviously going for the low key approach.
Gaels will be hard bet but are beatable.
Ramor aren't playing well but could turn it around but don't be surprised if arva beat them. I think kingscpurt will win championship

Gowna had the game won in Cornafean and let Lacken back in for Finbarr Reilly to score a free.

how will the playoff's work? 2 games with open draw and then the 'final' between the winners?

I imagine it will be the two losers of both games playing off to see which team goes to relegation playoff! So each loser will get a second chance to qualify for the QF.

you don't need a final. you need to eliminate 1 team. so maybe open draw and 2 losers play. if one game ends in a draw then maybe elimate the loser. answer is, I dont know.

So how do we distinguish between 6th 7th and 8th for the quarters? 4 teams ... 3 go through. In what order??

Whenever the playoff's are decided the score difference from the 4 rounds will determine the placings for the 3 teams involved.

If score difference separates 1st and 2nd.. and it separates 3rd and 4th why can it not desperate 8th and 9th??
Top 8 on score difference should go through. End off . Playoffs more money more delays!

Be unfair if team in 8th got an easier draw and got an opportunity to put up vig scores.

So Cootehill live to fight another day. Thought this would have been a hammering but turned out to be the most entertaining and tense game I have seen all year. Was very impressed with the way they played.
