Replying To Square_B:  "Not saying it happened in this case, but if a fellow fell out with a club there wouldn't be many that would stop a transfer. If one really wanted to circumvent rules, what's stopping a lad from giving an address in a neighbouring parish with the concent of the homeowner? I'd say it could be easily sorted in fairness."

No standouts that will improve the quality of our senior team!

I see the Junior A group games finished with Mohill B and Eslin finishing bottom of their groups.
Does this mean that Mohill are automatically relegated?
My understanding is that a clubs' first team cannot go lower than Junior A.

I could not believe that Eslin lost to gort's 2nd team who had been tanked by Mary's and Annaduff before this. Sad to see them gone so low, I fear for their survival.
I'm not aware of that rule, wouldn't say it's fair, mohil have strong numbers and would not fear eslin in their current form

I have never heard of that rule but you may be thinking of the new league format. It is split between first teams and reserve leagues so bottom team in division 3 cannot get relegated as there is no division 4. There is a reserve division 1 which some people may call division 4 but it's not.

I would agree with this structure though.

Have 8 teams each in Senior and Intermediate and 7 in Junior, all first teams similar to Leagues division 1,2,3. 2 groups of 4 would be ideal so 1 2nd team could play in Junior but would swap with the winners of Junior B (2nd teams only) each year so no first team gets relegated. This new Junior championship would have 4 relegated teams from intermediate so would be harder for the 2nd to win.

We could then just have first 15 players named ineligible for 2nd teams. The 18 + anymore played in knockout is unfair on lads who might come on for a few minutes and can't get anymore football.

It was brought in after Mohill won Junior and I can understand why some of the smaller teams were in favour of this as it makes it harder for larger teams 2nd teams to win junior. But the proposal above would also stop this while at the same time not punishing young lads by restricting their playing time.

It would also make Leitrim's participants in Connacht stronger as if a 1st team wins Junior, they would be Leitrim's 21st best team out of 23 clubs. In the proposal above, Leitrim's 17th best club would play In Connacht and intermediate would move from Leitrim's 11th best team to Leitrim's 9th best team.

It has been mentioned before reducing championship to 8 but as previous people have commented, Turkeys won't vote for Xmas and clubs won't vote to relegate themselves even though it would make the competitions more competitive.

Surprisingly big win for Fenagh today, they will fancy their chances now, will be tough games either against Carrick or Mohill but they are coming to the boil at the right time. Ryan O Rourke showing what the county missed all year, hopefully he'll stay injury free now.

To think Leitrim gaels consider themselves a decent club team here is a disaster!! Fenagh completely showed them up tonight!! There's 4 too many teams in the senior championship

Fenagh look unstoppable, its there to lose, don't think anyone can handle Ryan O'Rourke, however their defence is suspect enough but i think they can just simply outscore everyone else.
