What It Means.....
Trying to answer the many messages asking how things stand and what happens next
A championship that has so far been as predictable as the 5c machines Tomás and Páidí played last week... 😂
After Lomans 4th draw in a row (which I can't find any record of ever happening before - still looking!) it means that after tomorrow's games we will know exactly how tight it is going into the final round. Even before tomorrow there have now been SIX DRAWN GAMES 😂
Let's say (no disrespect to anyone btw) that The Downs beat Caulry tomorrow. It would leave them on 6 points. Kinnegad are also on 6. Lomans lie on 4 and with Shamrocks and Garrycastle on 3 each playing each other it means both could be on 4 by tomorrow evening if it was a draw, or one will go to 5 and the other stay on 3. So it would be...
Kinnegad 6 or Kinnegad 6 or Kinnegad 6
Downs 6 Downs 6 Downs 6
Lomans 4 shamrocks 5 Garrycastle 5
Shamrocks 4 lomans 4 lomans 4
Garrycastle 4 Garrycastle 3 shamrocks 3
Caulry 0 caulry 0. Caulry 0
Of course caulry could win tomorrow and then things become even more wild - Kinnegad 6, shamrocks or Garrycastle 5, Downs 4, lomans 4, shamrocks or Garrycastle 3, caulry 2 - if Caulry win and Sham/GC is a draw we end the day with one team on six, FOUR teams on four, and the bottom team on 2!
However it all pans out tomorrow, a win for Caulry over The Downs would mean they go into the final round against Lomans needing to win and depending on how things go in other games it could leave Lomans in bother... Defeat for Caulry tomorrow they are gone to Section B.
Shamrocks v Garrycastle tomorrow is huge for everyone. That game will let us know all the permutations for the final round then.
Section B and Intermediate in the next post...
