Promotion / relegation going to the wire

With the season drawing to a close, there are couple of promotion /
relegation issues to be decided. In Division 1 Portadown Golf Club cannot
avoid the drop but the question is whether Tullysaran can catch
Waringstown or St. John's Moira to avoid joining the Golf Club in Division
2 next year. Tullysaran currently are 18½ points adrift of Waringstown but
have 4 games in hand, so the outcome may not be known until well into
April.

In Division 2, perennial yo-yo team Kilmore are going back up again to
Division 1. It looks to be a straight fight between their neighbours
Mullavilly and Tandragee GC to see who joins them. Mullavilly have the
points on the board, but Tandragee GC have 3 games in hand and are only 8½
points behind Mullavilly. Mathematically any of Queen Street, St. Paul's,
St. Patrick's Blue, or St. Columba's could still go up, but it would take
a dramatic collapse by Tandragee GC in particular for this to happen.
