With the exception of the 2nd half of the Knights v Rhinos game, which is being played at 12:30 in Navan next Sunday (before the Cork @ Meath IAFL1 game), all of the SBC regular season has been completed.
Trinity College (SBC South winners) and the Belfast Trojans (SBC North winners) receive an automatic bye into the semi-finals.
The Dublin Rebels and UL Vikings will host the wildcard games on July 20th.
The remaining wildcard places – the ‘at large’ ones – will not be known until the Knights v Rhinos game has been completed – it was stopped at halftime due to a medical emergency/road traffic accident. The Rhinos were leading 8-0. The wildcard game permutations are as follows:
1. If the Knights win:
The Knights travel to the Rebels and the North Kildare Reapers travel to UL.
2. If the Rhinos win by 22 points or less *:
The Knights travel to the Rebels and the Rhinos travel to UL.
3. If the Rhinos win by more than 22 points:
The North Kildare Reapers travel to the Rebels and the Rhinos travel to UL.
* If the Rhinos win by exactly 22 points, the next tiebreaker between the Knights & Reapers is TDs scored. Knights currently have 20, Reapers 19. The Reapers cannot overtake the Knights as they’ve completed their schedule, so the Knights are guaranteed to be ahead on this tiebreaker.
