Replying To Farneyarmy2013:  "Isn't it a pity of the fixtures in Monaghan. Spent nearly 8 weeks there playing group games. Some of them dead rubbers and some teams with a month off inbetween games.

Then to be in a big rush to play the rest of the games. Junior last group game quater and semi final 3 weeks in a row."
Structures are terrible in the county everyone says it but nothing is being done

The value is in two draws in the senior 1/4 finals this weekend. Both very hard to call

Lads if the relegation finals are Cremartin V corduff and Eire og v tyholland and Eire og and Cremartin win will both games have to be played again due to league playoff situation?

Also if truagh and inniskeen win their quarters will the semi pairings be flipped?

I believe not. I think this was the draw made and it sticks to this. But understand where you are coming from as Clontibret has already played Truagh and Scotstown already played Inniskeen.

No, the pairings for semi final goes based off groups. Scotstown v Inniskeen/Blayney and Clontibret V Carrick/Truagh

Congratulations to our All Star nominations.

Rory will be pipped by Livingstone. Dylan Byrne probably won't feature, but its still a hell of an acknowledgement of what he has achieved as an unheralded player. Stevie has to be nailed on after an incredible year.

According to the published regulations, only one team is to be relegated from Senior in 2026. The loser of the Senior League relegation final and the loser of the Senior Championship relegation final are supposed to meet in a final relegation play-off, with the loser of that game relegated.

In the case o, say, Cremartin and Corduff contesting both relegation finals, there are two possible scenarios:

If they split the two finals - e.g. Cremartin loses one and Corduff loses the other - they simply play each other again in the final relegation play-off, with the loser relegated.

If the same team loses both finals, the published regulations do not appear to cover that situation. The same club would technically be both participants in the final relegation play-off, and there is no provision stating what should happen instead.


So, according to the published regulations, Cremartin or Corduff is not automatically stated to be relegated simply by losing both finals. There appears to be a gap in the regulations, which would presumably require clarification or a ruling from the CCC.

Common sense would dictate that that team just gets regulated, and is likely to be considered such an obvious case that it's not mentioned in the rules.

Yes from what I've heard, I think Cremartin will feel they can do that, can't see Eire Og doing it though, our of their depth really this year
