Replying To drumalee11:  "What is the issue in the club?

They are in the best location in the county arguably for numbers and population.

If they got their act together they should be intermediate at least.

Kildallan another club which are serious underachievers."
There is players playing for Ramor who are from Maghera, like Ado Cole. Adam Reilly of Cuchulains would be from Maghera too. Being surrounded by Senior and Intermediate Clubs doesn't help.

Replying To RHF:  "They were better last year is all I'm saying, they had a better difference than Corlough. Far better than 2022 when they were indeed not just guaranteed wins, but guaranteed points difference that skewed the Championship if you finished level on points with someone who didn't play them. Again though, last year better and if they maintain that upward trajectory, it'll not just be guaranteed wins

They don't look like they will maintain it though if they are conceding home league games this early in the year.

If they can't get a team on the field to play home games what chance have they if they have to travel to Shannon Gaels or Kildallan."
Well Arva the All Ireland Champions only a few months back can't field a team either. They are hampered by county panelists but still they surely have 18 lads that can tog on a Sunday???

Have Maghera just had enough and have given up altogether? Another game conceded this week I see.

It's a joke, the CB need to man up and kick them down to Reserve. It's a scandal that they can disrupt other people's plans on a whim. Same with Corlough, they need to be moved up to Reserve Div 1. Dropping to Reserve cause they can't field a team of 15 but they ask each Reserve team to play 15 a side. Thankfully teams seem to be wising up and refusing to play them.

Not sure where your getting your information from, but corlough have played two games, both games were 11 aside and two so-called bigger and better clubs concede and didn't turn up, and my information is correct not spouting bull s---t

They asked both teams if they'd play 15 aside but the other teams wouldn't. The other teams didn't turn up cause what's the point in putting out reserve lads against a 1st team

Corlough were asked to play 15 aside and couldn't. You should check your sources and maybe not listen to them, if corolough were capable of playing 15 aside they'd be playing in division three. Both Corlough and maghera and other smaller struggling clubs are as deserving of playing football as any so-called better clubs,it's people like you that bring down the interest in football in general in the county with negative rubbish

Not all their players got on in one of the games even though they used 5 subs. It's their 1st team, they should be in reserve div 1. If they haven't 15 players, why are they entering the Junior Championship?

No choice, that's the rules, so now all their players didn't get on while earlier on they were looking to play 15 aside,would you for godsake listen to yourself and cop on

That shows that they have the numbers..they dropped out off div 3 cause they couldn't field a team but bring 20 to reserve games.

This is a very odd argument. I can't claim to know any of the Corlough lads personally but I have heard that they made the decision to drop down due to lack of numbers and the age profile of many of the lads still involved. You're either a lad from one of their rivals who has a gripe against them or you're a poor example of a gaa man. Clubs like Corlough, Maghera, and the likes should be praised to the hilt for keeping the flame going. The fact that you're begrudging them a few victories over other clubs second strings does very little for your character. Are you suggesting that they should fold altogether?

No, I'm suggesting that they should drop down 1 division, not 3. They should be in div 1 reserve league, theybare playing their 1st team against div 3 reserve teams. And if they don't have numbers, why are they entering the junior championship and turning up to Reserve games with 20+ players.

Come on now. You know as well as I do that div 1 reserve is beyond the level of teams struggling to field, as Corlough and Maghera are. I don't want to get into an argument over it. I don't know enough about the club to do so, and you sound like you're either a Swad or Templeport man. I highly doubt they have 20 players turning up regularly. I saw one of their junior champ games last year and they barely fielded 20 there. Many of them were of advanced playing age. Stop being so bitter. Every club in Cavan is trying their best to compete. Get off their backs.

Lads this is tedious. However I think any reasonable person could see that a first team dropping to reserve should not go straight to Division 3, thereby competing with the reserves of teams they played last year as they're above that level. Division 1 reserve might be a push, but certainly Division 2 wouldn't be.

I would agree with the other poster above they should not be in Division 3 reserve league, The Division 2 league may have been more suitable for them.

Yes, div 2 would be best. That lad is clearly bitter for some personal reason. He suggested div 1 reserve, which I pointed out was ludicrous.
