Replying To mick2007: "It's not about one game, much bigger thing at play here, Every junior club stands to gain by this because it will hopefully waken and tighten up the rules around grading etc for many years to come…it's become farcical.. no 3rd team should be allowed near a junior championship…
The whole junior competition has been impacted by Monaghan county boards sheer refusal and incompetence to deal with this issue, this game took place on 7th August and hasn't been dealt with which is unbelievable at this stage so fault should firmly lie there…
It's aghabog that are the real losers here and got to feel for them…" Absolutely correct. It's the incompetence of the Monaghan governing body that is really being highlighted. Loopholes in transfer regulations, unaware of what rules actually apply to Junior championship....
No 2nd teams should be allowed in the Senior, Intermediate or Junior championships. Reserve league and championship is where these players who cant make the club's first 15 should be playing.They are reserve players. One club, one championship team. Let the smaller clubs have their chance for a bit of glory. As I've said before, it would be like Manchester City being allowed to put a "Junior team " into League 2 and boys moving between the first and second teams a la Scotstown and Truagh.
Fair play to Killeevan. They're showing a bit of fight for the junior clubs.
Other games will be won by:
Junior
Drumhowan
Oram
Scotstown ABC team
Senior
Inniskeen
Carrick
Latton
Magheracloone

Replying To Farneyman2: "What are killeevan gonna gain from this? They aren't gonna win Junior and if they somehow got promoted It'd be a very long year…. They can't even beat a truagh C team! Someone in the squad needs to tell the higher up people that they are wasting their time and they are making the club look stupid. They'd be missing graham too if not mistaken after him getting sent off against Currin.
The whole competition will be impacted by killeevans Junior Infant behaviour" It's about principle, can't allow a team to cheat and get away with it regardless of how far killeevan would get

Replying To latefortraining: "Aghbog v Truagh is only game affected
all other fixtures go ahead this weekend.
Killeevan feel aggrieved by the way this has been handles.
bigger picture is that junior clubs are not happy with senior clubs participating in the junior league and championship under the current grading system.
players yo yoing between their senior team and junior team , some players fielding for two teams over the same weekend and treating junior as a reserve league.
the bye law regarding championship and league relegation playoff games needs to be tied up. this has caused the issue in this case.
dates for junior
semi finals weekend 3rd Oct
Final 18th Oct
Ulster club Monaghan v Antrim 1st Nov" Could play the county final on the 31st of October and I would still expect our champions to beat an Antrim side on the 1st of November

Diarmuid Murtagh deserves an all star from a Westmeath man. Roscommon winning Connacht by beating mayo and Galway one of the stories of the year. Provincial is still a major part of our champ season . And Connacht should be awarded

I'd say the kileevan and traugh players are raging. Both teams know they aren't going to win and I'm sure they wouldn't mind finishing up.
So poorly handled by county board. Laughable the last few weeks regarding this and the management.

Replying To brayballer: "Great Ciaran got a nomination but cant see him getting one.The All stars will be mainly Mayo with a few Kerry as the finalists get more.Scully has to get one and McMorrow and Davy B have a good chance but dont think we will get three.O Donohue will probably get poty but for me young Clifford was way ahead of him over the year and his scoring showed that.
The man that marked young Clifford best was Davy and he should get an all star along with McMorrow and Scully but we wont get three.If Mayo had lost the final Im not sure they would get any back on the team.Maybe one." Clifford is the best scorer by a mile, but O'Donoghue does a lot more than score. His influence on Mayo is massive. He's one of the best tacklers as a forward, and this was crucial to Mayo's success. He also drops deep and carries the ball, which he's brilliant at, taking huge pressure off the team, linking play and creating chances. For the style of game Mayo play, they wouldn't have won the All-Ireland without O'Donoghue.
Clifford is the best forward I've ever seen, but he doesn't tackle, and he doesn't carry the ball from defence to attack. Nor should he have to. Leave him to do what he's best at. No point wasting him doing things he mightn't be suited to.
However, there's a lot more to a player's game and how it impacts the team than scoring. Trevor Giles wasn't a prolific scorer, but he was brilliant at tackling, winning breaking ball, passing and creating chances. That's what won him his player of the year awards. He chipped in with scores too, as does Ryan O'Donoghue to an even greater degree.

Tomás Gilleran the new Roscommon U17 manager taking over from Shane Moran after two successful campaigns.
Tomás a St Dominic's man manged his own club to Intermediate county success in 2022 and has been a coach/selector as part of Cian Smith U20 management this year. Best of luck to Tomás as we look to keeping the conveyor belt going.

Replying To Pikeman96: "I must really be getting old, because more and more, I find that I don't like change :D
I agree Group 1 would be a bit of a snooze fest, and I'm not sure Group 2 would be much better. Examiner tells how if it was in place based on this year's standings, the groups would be:
Group 1 - Dublin, Galway, Kilkenny, Offaly
Group 2 - Carlow, Kildare, Laois, Wexford
Will consider ourselves first. Much as we've struggled in recent years, I and probably anybody else would still expect us to beat at least two of those other three teams in championship in any given year, and make a quarter-final. Same would go for any of the Group 1 teams there that might find themselves in Group 2 some year.
So really, what Group 2 becomes is a contest between three teams who've flitted between Leinster Championship and Joe McDonagh under the current structure, with a prize of a quarter-final spot for one of them, which they'd normally be expected to lose. It wouldn't be all that different from the system we've just gone away from, where Joe McDonagh winners or runners-up played 3rd in Leinster.
Group 1 would be basically three matches to decide whether you go straight to a semi-final, or go into a quarter-final where you'd probably be favourites to end up in a semi-final anyway. The competitive one would probably normally be expected to be any two of Dublin/Offaly/Wexford, but still, the Group 1 team would probably normally be the fancied one.
And overall, possibly the biggest issue is how if the idea of expanding the Leinster Championship is to "give more teams a chance to develop by playing at a higher level", it doesn't really achieve that. In the example here, Carlow, Kildare & Laois only get one game against a "higher level" county, and that's just against the fifth best in Leinster. They don't get the chance to test themselves regularly against the stronger counties at all.
One of them eventually gets one chance against a stronger county, but again, that's essentially a repeat of the old Joe McDonagh winners v 3rd in Leinster matches, and barring one surprise result back in 2019, we know how the rest of them went.
But hey, maybe I'm just getting too old and set in my ways, that I'm tending not to like change!" Agree totally won't help or develop competition.
Surely 2 groups 4 be better where seeded teams based on previous years standings would be better .
Top team each group into semi
2nd plays 3rd in opposite group in 1/4 final
2nd place teams have home advantage with the winners into a semi finsl lisers finished .
4th in each group into relegation final .
Losing semi finalists play off for 3rd to go into all ireland 1/4 finals .
Group 1 Group 2
Dublin (1) Galway (2)
Kilkenny (4) offaly (3)
Kildare (6) wexford (5)
Carlow (8) laois (7)
Based on last years standings
Giving top team in round Robin a perceived advantage . Following year seeding based on finishing places in leinster . Or points in group inc score difference

What more can be said about the talented sisters. Truly amazing. Should be great Castlerea homecoming for the double European champions.
