I see the game between Allen Gaels and Ballingerla refixed for this night week. Probably the fairest decision

Sorry if i've missed this but any view on when the championship draws for Senior and inter championship take place, take it after leagues wrap up?

Anyone feeling brave and calling winners/relegations at this early stage?

I'll get the ball rolling
Senior
- a Carrick double? Fenagh?
- Liked Leitrim Village as an outsider the last couple of years but seem to be going back instead of forward from when they tightened Mohill for long periods, any truth to them being down a few heads? team like that needs full outfit Bruen and Flynn a loss for league but Moreton would be a huge loss to the thin forward line if there's truth in it, adds speed and range, thought Andy might call for a run out at one stage

Inter
- Annaduf likely to be knocking on the door but door may be jammed again, Carrigallen outsiders, moving well in league and could do the junior, inter jump? why not but could as easily be relegated again
- hard to see past Melvin Gaels

Junior
- Cloone's year

David Bruen back from travels for Leitrim Gaels big boost

big game in the senior this weekend between Manor and Mohill, relegation battle, who'd have thought that a short few years ago. but then again come championship they'll both motor well.

Huge game with Mohill and Manor this weekend. Mohill have lost a few key players to emigration but with the pick and experience they have there is no way they should be in the position they are in. O'Hara will be under serious pressure if this goes south. Same in Manor - Going back to the future with Glen Young seems to have gone badly. They struggled to field a teams at some stage. Which tells a lot.

Personally, I'd prefer if the second last team in Div 1 played a play off game against the second placed team in Div 2 to decide who plays in Division One the following year.
I was at the Ballinamore and Aughawillan game last weekend. Just a few thoughts from it.

Was an exciting game in the end. Seamus Mulhern as always let things go and the players new the boundaries fairly early on apart from one extremely soft free near the end for Ballinamore he was excellent. Both teams were missing a good few key players and were fairly evenly matched.

I would say Aughawillan training would have been an interesting place this week as it's a game they threw away. They were 5 points up with 10 mins left and lost by a point. We all know theyre an ageing team and it seem to cost them in the end. They just couldn't get enough bodies up the field and a lot of their players were clearly fatigued.
In Shane and Paul Moran Ballinamore had two players both from play and frees that capitalised. After controlling the whole game the Aughawillan players will be sick. They missed 3/4 scoreable chances in the final quarter that would have got them over the line. Add to that some of the cheap scores they gave away and you can see where they lost the lead.

Interesting to see Cavan's Mickey Graham in the dugout for Ballinamore. It can only be a positive for a team who have lost a whole host of players since they won the championship.

How Shane Moran wasn't on the county team this year is beyond me. He can be frustrating but he's also a brilliant player in brilliant condition. Leitrim can't afford to be without a player like that.

Mark Plunkett was deployed at no.6 by Aughawillan - He was by an enormous distance the best player on the field. He dominated in all aspects of the game. Andy Moran will have no choice but to play him here next year. Especially when you consider how poor our half-back line was this year.

In Michael McKiernan, Paul Moran and Tom Plunkett Leitrim have 3 brilliant talents coming through. I had heard of and seen the two Ballinamore players but once he bulks up it looks like the Willies have found another gem.

One thing I did notice was how poor the conditioning was in many of the players. Outside of the county players or players who have had county experience in the past its quite apparent that not many are in the gym. We may yearn for the past where players can just go out and play but that day is gone. Our club scene are so far behind other counties in this respect and it is holding us back. Its an area the county board need to reevaluate ASAP.

Both teams are well capable of going on a run this year if they get a few of their missing players back.

Finally, the facilities in Corlough Gaa are exceptional and would put most of our club grounds to shame.

What are the rules for player eligibility 2023, e.g. first 15 in senior, inter and junior a, then who's allowed play junior b and c? Struggling to find anything concrete online.
