I’d say the eight teams in the senior b will all put in a serious effort for it

Might be worth the effort to Clarecastle, but can’t see anyone else being much bothered

You would have two excellent championships if you took half the teams in senior b and added them to the inter Championship and took the other four and left them senior with the 8 quarter finalists.

How does senior b work normally? Is it always the losers that end up in it? As in would it ever have any prestige?

Previously from around 2000 to 2007 it was a 20 team championship. 12 senior A and 8 senior B. 3 groups of 4 and 2 groups of 4. Top two in senior and top team from each group in senior B made quarter finals.

Top 2 in each of the senior B groups played off for B championship too and winner went A the following year. Ballyea made a senior final around 2003 from the senior B group yet failed to win the senior B title.

It has little prestige these days

I think they’ve made a rod for their own backs there, however well-intentioned it was

Impressive there from breckans. Is there a few of them in the Clare setup.

Alan Sweeney, Dale Masterson and Joe McGann (who destroyed us today) have been in the last year. Aiden Davidson would be worth a crack too although he was quietish today. Donie Garrihy is some man to get a team to perform.

Some win for the townies over Cratloe, ditto the Mills over IK.

Éire Óg opened 3/1, backed into 2s. I’d have been all over that if I’d seen. No Connors and Cathal Mc hobbled.

I give Feakle every chance of beating them next up, reckon they’ll be good price.
