Replying To Bluelake:  "Is it a playoff or do Moate go down? I think H2H applies and it's only playoff it's score difference but happy to be corrected"
No relegation from one level to another on head to head or score difference. Play off if Shandonagh win. Think it's different if demotion from Section A to Section B is involved.

Loman's = world class
Caulry = class
Kinnegad, The Downs and Killucan = decline
Tang = Cusack Park"

Replying To iarmhiabu:  "Impressive CV until he left a club in the lurch 4 days after agreeing to take the job to go to a BIGGER club. The BIGGER club was Sarsfields Newbridge who are the most successful club in Kildare. Lasted 1 year in Newbridge and now he has Caulry with near as many county footballers as St Loman's to work with on the brink of relegation!!"
Embarrasing comment trying to knock his achivements
What ever you say about Flanagan his record with clubs in county and Padraig Pearses is impressive.
Arent many managers going around with senior titles won in different counties.
If Caulry had Kevin Maguire and Ben Moran for first two likely wouldnt be in this position.
Flanagan will have Caulry absolutely bang ready for Saturday and will beat Kinnegad with way there playing.

His son is part of his backroom team, generally stands on the terrace communicating with the selectors, surely they're travelling together to cut down on costs?

The son cycles over to training to keep the costs down the word on the street is carbon neutral. Any update on any other club as you seem to have a great deal to say about Caulry all the time . I fancy Mullingar to go all the way this year myself.

Has any candidate emerged to replace the football board chairman who was one of the four picking him?

If an insider or not think he would be good even knowing what's available.

County board chairman seems to be losing control of the the board. Many were uphappy how the hurling manager was picked and it seems to be the reason the football chairman has stepped down.

You wouldn't be full of confidence reading this weeks local papers about this. Why would football chairman and member of selection committee to appoint new manager step down in middle of process. Obviously all is not good in the camp among county board or even the members of the selection committee themselves. We are heading into weekend of last group games and still no talk of manager to replace Dessie Dolan. That is a lot of football for a potential county manager to miss out on to try identify talent

Positions in one section of junior championship decided tonight with St. Loman's on top, Mullingar Shamrocks in second, Coralstown Kinnegad third and The Downs fourth. This will impact on the other section as no side will want to play Loman's especially so fourth spot is one to be avoided for the junior clubs.

On the paper this week. Chairman had an absolute nightmare with the junior 2 saga as well. Something must not be right at the minute

Lomans get the job done unspectacularly as they have all year minus John Heslin and TJ Cox

Am I right in saying the table is as follows?

Lomans
Kgad
Athlone
Tpass
Tang
Caulry
