Bigger win for Faithleachs than expected, some scoring from them."
Elphin and western Geals are in worse shape than castlerea

Well yes, Elphin probably are but wouldn't be so sure about WG. I know it's dangerous to put too much stock on x beat y so therefore x should beat z. But I would put Glaveys and Oran on a similar level, Western Gaels brought Glaveys right to the wire while Castlerea were poor against Oran and miles off it.

But you can't be relegated from division four please so that's a rather silly thing to say isn't it. There are only four divisions so you can't go any lower than division four. I'm scarlet for you. Thanks.

How so? Is that based on this year or the last few years in regard to WG? Elphin look like a team in trouble, giving up far too many goals to give themselves any chance of winning a game. I'd expect them to be harder to beat in what is a knockout game v WG but can't see them scoring enough either. WG probably will shade it and get to a 1/4 final and after 4 relegation battles in a row that would be progress, something to build on. Castlerea are also taking heavy beatings, and I don't see that changing when they face Ros Gaels so going into a relegation play off after 3 bad results like that will take a lot to recover from. They did land a tough group though to be fair to them

Western Gaels will likely end whatever relegation worries they have by beating Elphin next.

Elphin,Castlerea,Dominics are the likely trio for the relegation play offs.


Elphin - scoring 9 points a game and conceding 25

Castlerea - scoring 16 points a game and conceding 30

Dominics - scoring 13 points a game and concededing 21


Elphin will need to step up on their scoring to avoid the drop, their top scorer after two games is their goalkeeper Aaron Brady with 0-7.

Ironically enough, Western Gaels top scorer is their keeper, Patrick Gaynor with 0-14 to his name

Gaynor has including a handful of two pointer frees. Western Gaels have scored double the amount to Elphin and both have played the same opposition.

He has, 3 2 point frees in both games, a serious option to have
