    Inchicore 3-5 Phibsboro
    Celbridge 5.5-2.5 Bray (the game O/S went Bray's way)

    Malahide and Enniscorthy finish their match on April 13.

    Big game tomorrow is Malahide vs Rathmines

    10MP unless stated
    Ballinasloe 47
    Phibsboro 46
    Celebridge 43.5
    Benildus 43.5
    Dun Laoghaire 42
    Rathmines 41 9MP
    Malahide 38.5 8.5MP
    Bray 37.5
    Curragh 35
    Inchicore 34
    Elm Mount 33.5
    Enniscorthy 25.5 9.5MP


    Looks like promotion is down to Ballinasloe, Phibsboro, Rathmines and Malahide (Celbridge and Benildus need big scores against top 7 teams which have been incredibly hard to come by in this campaign).

    Relegation is equally as interesting with 2 Armstrong regulars in the thick of it. Elm Mount (B) and Curragh are looking to avoid consecutive relegations while Inchicore have been in the Heidenfeld since 2007. Inchicore (playing Ballinasloe) have the trickiest final game with the others playing bottom 5 teams.

    It was St Benildus B relegated from the Armstrong last year, not Elm Mount B.

    Huge win for Ballinasloe alright. Have to be honest and say I thought they'd fade away over the course of the season, especially when their early good position was skewed by five walkover wins, but they're there on merit now.

    Would they strengthen if they went up?

    Apologies, I was way off: Elm Mount B were last in the Armstrong in 2014-15.

    Ballinasloe have always seemed to struggle with continuity of selection - getting Rory, Denis (over 2000 now), Zalan, Tommy and Keegan would be a huge first step. I would guess they may struggle on the lower boards but I would have said something similar about Blanch this year and they were absolutely fine.

    Malahide 4 Rathmines 4.
    Whilst not the result either team probably wanted, it keeps everything very close behind Ballinasloe for the second promotion spot

    Any sign of rounds 7+8 going up for rating?

    I’m hearing 4-way tie for second with Rathmines going up on Tie-break. Confirmed by LCU site.

    They beat Phibsboro and Celbridge and drew with Malahide. Malahide drew with all three. Phibsboro beat Celbridge, lost to Rathmines and drew to Malahide. Celbridge lost two and drew one.

    As it stands, it looks like one up, one down for Rathmines; so the Armstrong will be a straight swap of Ballinasloe for Dun Laoghaire

    I think it would have gone to game points rather than batch points, so Rathmines on 13 pipped Phibsboro and Malahide on 12.

    Extraordinary finish to a great league though. And credit to Ballinasloe too, who I think I wrote off on this thread earlier in the year. Didn't think they had enough to stay on top, but can't argue with winning by 5 points

    Yes indeed; no need for a challenge match in the Armstrong now.

    PS: Since when was Ballinasloe in Leinster?

    Cavan isn't either.

    Also, they play in Athlone
