Adult Football League 7 (AFL7) 2023

Ranelagh finished in bottom half of 8 last year? Seems to be Na Fianna last year AFL5 team who lost relegation playoff to Brendans? Did that team win a junior championship?

Is that Ciarans first team?

Na Fianna AFL 5 team last year won Junior 1 All County against Castleknock

Yes

Hadn't realised they had fallen so far, I remember playing them in Div 2

They've been in AFL 7 the last few years i think. Might have been in AFL 6 in 2018

How does that work 5 coming up? How many teams moved up to d6

How did margerts end up in d6? Lost the play off final last year

I think they were in Division 1 for one year. They had a few Dublin minor players at the time.

They were, they had been Div 1 the season before if I remember right

Innsfails where supposed to be in 7 but look to be gone so that would have been one placed filled from Div 8 teams

Ranelagh finished 5 in the league last year. From what I could work out Na Fianna seem to have pulled there team that was dropping from 5 to 6 and then with Innsfails folding that seems to have created an extra 2 spots in 7.

Surely it's Na Dianna's division 8 team from last year that finished third? And the division 5 team folded? Seems strange regardless for a team just off the back of winning a junior 1 championship, I imagine this team will probably be a mix of those two teams

My bad. I was mixing up Ranelagh from a previous season. They were always contenders in 8 but remem them having a off season in recent years.

First round of matches up

I’d say a few of the teams promoted from 8 will go straight up to 6. Div doesn’t look that strong and there’s not much of a gulf between those relegated from 6 versus those promoted from 8 when you’re playing at this level

Based on what exactly ?

If ciarans had their hurlers togged for majority of year. They will do well. Very hard to predict otherwise. Garristown and James gaels were the best two teams by a distance in this league last year.
