Where two Teams only are involved - the outcome of the meeting of the two Teams in the previous game(s) in the Competition.

(iv).
Scoring Difference from the game(s) in which only the teams involved (teams tied or points) have played each other (subtracting the value of the total Scores Against fron the value of the total Scores For).
V).-Highest number of Total Scores For, from the game(s) in which only the tear
involved (teams tied on points) have played each other:
(vi)
Highest number of Goals Scored For, from the game(s) in which only the teams involved (teams tied on points) have played each other.
(vii)
Scoring difference (subtracting the value of the total Scores Against from the value of the total Scores For) across all games played in the Competition
(viii) A Play-Off

Because the two teams drew , it comes down to goals scored in the game. It used to come down to total amount of scores but since the introduction of two pointer that can't be recorded anymore.

Total score difference seems to be last port of call now. Which is mad - but this is how it was done so we can quell the rumours of anyone conceding

I see the county board put out a statement on the relegation table places there today (someone must be keeping an eye on this forum). It would be very helpful if they would publish their competition rules each year. The rule is still mad!

To be fair the rules and regulations are on their website

I'm pretty sure in Westmeath that a team cannot be relegated on H2H and any situation would end in a relegation playoff between the said two teams. It seems crazy that championship fixtures just aren't fulfilled, even for the development of younger players that a game is just called off. Yes there may not have been much at stake but in an adult competition it seems farcical and a poor look for the county that a game can just be called off.

Abbey might shade the game this evening.... a lot will depend on who has most of their injured players back.
Dromard will be delighted with the weather due tomorrow. It will suit them a lot better than us.
I think we could be looking at an Abbey v Dromard final.
