They literally went undefeated in the group. That Boden 2 team just got promoted to Division 1. After getting relegated last year theyâve had a good enough group stage. Now need to kick on and get promoted back to Senior 1.

For Group 2 it came down to score diff
Davis +5
Crokes -2
Barrs -3
So Barrs away to BSJ and Tarf away to Crokes
Is it home and away? Last year relegation for this was a double header in O Toole Park.
Na Fianna played Finbarrs and Crumlin played Scoil in O Toole iirc

Before we get to this weekâs roundupâŠ
Senior 2 Hurling Round 4
Craobh Chiarain put themselves back in the mix at the top of Group 1 with a 1-20 to 1-11 win over Ballinteer St Johnâs in Clonshaugh. An early Darren Kelly goal handed the hosts the lead. Ballinteer came back with a goal of their own but thanks to the dominance of Conor Ryan and Jimmy Finn in the middle of the park Craobh went into the dressing room 5 points ahead. Ballinteer looked to make their move in the third quarter but were unable to make hay as center back Kevin Hetherton shined for Craobh and scoring contributions from Cian Derwin, Robbie Mahon and Paul Kelly helped them pull away. Naomh Barrog matched their result to stay top after their 18 point hammering of Castleknock 2-25 - 1-10. The game was won in the first half with goals for the Kilbarrack side coming from Cillian Costello and dual club star Ciaran Gallagher. Further scores after the break from Joe Flanagan extended the lead and boosted Barrogâs score difference.
St Judes edged out Kilmacud Crokes 2 by four points in an enthralling encounter at Silver Park. An early goal from Conor Nolan (1-3) set them on their way. John Carty and Danny Sutcliffe caused further headaches for the home defense as Judes led 1-11 to 8 at the halfway point. They couldâve scored plenty more goals in the second half if not for three vital saves from Crokes goalie Ross OâReilly. Joe McManus continues to be Judes go to man top scoring once again this time finishing with 0-11 points to his name. Late points from Carty who finished up with (0-3) and Danny Sutcliffe (0-2) ensured Judes finished strong. Ballyboden 2 won the other game in the group over Naomh Fionnbarra 3-20 - 4-5 in what turned out to be a goal fiesta of sorts.

With the Senior 2 hurling quarterfinals and relegation play-offs all being at either Parnell Park or OâToole Park I think there is a good chance we will get teams sheets for these matches.

If your hammered in 3 games but win one your through, never ending championship
TD didnât get hammered in 3 games though. Lost by 3, 6 , 5. Agree itâs a funny one qualifying with one win but like not sure who else you expect it to work with 3 going through.

More a figure of speech wasnât referring to TD,
Castleknock only won 2 . Obviously more games the better for teams.
Ladies football only 2 from each group straight to a semi is more championship to me. Just feel like its dragged out. The chances of a team loosing 2 or 3 games and winning the competition is slim. How many chances should teams get?
Donât think any point comparing it to dublin senior ladies comp as walkovers in it every year due to dead rubbers etc. sure what else would teams be doing now, club players want their season to go into October.

If 10 teams is the way forward could we not adapt the model of the Champions League âThe Swiss Modelâ.
Essentially instead of 2 groups just have everyone in a ten team league table. Each team plays 5 games. Top 6 progress and bottom 4 into relegation. I donât see why we need to persist with groups. Would eradicate the the bye week and teams getting into the 1/4 final with less points than teams getting into the relegation.

Thatâs 8 matches to win a Championship over 12-16 weeks. Never a runner.
Its 7 now with a bye week that everyone can play on? I donât understand how its not a runner for that reason? nothing changes from current format except you play on the bye, or if need be play 4 games in the league stage its an easy pivot.
Current situation is not the answer. 10 teams appears to be about right so alternatives need to be explored.
