Replying To Lockjaw: "Yeah we'll need a few breaking through this year. Fresh legs and enthusiasm might be just what's needed. The trouble is we rarely experiment all that much in the league. I'd nearly sacrifice Div 1 status if it meant we blooded a good few youngsters in it, and a few emerged as definite Championship options. Mól an óige...." The influence of the National League on Championship seeding now, makes it risky to fall into Division 2. If you look at Division 2 for 2027, no handy games there. 2027 Division 1.

Promotion is certainly no easy task. It would be good to see more young players come through, but only a few have taken their opportunity in recent years - Moore and Roarty. It was unfortunate McCahill got injured this year, he looked like he was able to step up in the league. Of the rest of the Four Masters contingent, two that aren't in the panel yet, I think have the best potential to offer something at senior level, along with McCahill - Tomas Carr and Callum McCrea. I think I'd like to see them in the panel next year. Has there been anyone putting their hand up in the club championship? Northwest90 (Donegal) - Posts: 27 - 25/08/2026 17:58:25 2691286 Link

I suppose the trick is to find the right balance. As in, do enough to stay up, but don't put everything we have into it. And if three or four youngsters get good exposure and experience while doing it, all the better. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 10468 - 25/08/2026 19:57:25 2691296 Link

Mayo Kerry Armagh Galway Donegal Cork Meath Roscommon 2027 Division 2 Dublin Tyrone Louth Monaghan Derry Down Cavan Wexford" I believe munster is seeded next year so that will help teams at the lower end of div 2. Wicklow will obviously be taking a spot so a lot will depend on upsets in ulster, connaught and leinster championships to see if any other lower div 2 spots are bumped down to Tailteann cup. You'd definitely be nervous though as its as strong a div 2 as we've seen in a while. WeGoAgain (Donegal) - Posts: 220 - 27/08/2026 13:18:14 2691532 Link
