No, it wonāt bother me thank God!
Can confirm Premier Junior A hasnāt been voted on at any county boarding meeting. Would make for fantastic games though. Thought the quality in Junior A this year was fantastic.

Can they bring it in now for next season or will teams be able to complain about being relegated. They must be four years talking about it at this stage

All depends if itās on the agenda for County Convention next monthā¦ā¦it hasnāt been sent out to clubs yet.
But would teams have a right to say thatās grand but it wasnāt agreed before the competition so you canāt ārelegateā us now?
I presume it will have to go for a vote anyway and in reality everyone had it on their mind that it was going to split, but just wondering would it have to be agreed before this years competition or is a vote enough to do it regardless
Itās a fair fuck up anyway!
Hopefully common sense prevails and it goes through, itād make a job of it. 24 teams in one competition is far too big
Premier Junior would be horrendously hard. But ya it would make for a great competition
As good a competition as it is currently, the junior A is definitely way too bloated. A split would be ideal, would remove some of the mismatches and give some of the teams in the weaker section a tangible chance of winning something.
The stronger teams grouped together in Premier Junior should in theory lift the standard there too.
A structure in hurling of Senior A, Senior B, premier intermediate, intermediate, premier junior, junior A and junior B would be excellent. Teams getting plenty of games versus others of similar standard. The changes made to the running of the championships over the last decade have been really beneficial. Not perfect, obviously, but a hell of a lot better than what went before it.

Thereās been a Junior C for the first time this year as well I think? A fierce egalitarian setup.
I believe they are looking at options for changing the structure of the football championships. Surprise surprise the new option see less games.

Iād imagine the walkovers in the Intermediate are the reason for this. Realistically there are only 8 Intermediate standard teams.
The covid format was the best format!!! Guaranteed 3 games 2 group & either qf or relegation semi!! Too many dead rubbers as it is

They did well to find a pitch playable.
We have one league game played all year and I doubt we will play another one before Christmas the way itās going
Just after tuning into the Dromin/Athlacca game, sounds like a serious atmosphere in Corofin. Real intensity to the game, proper winter hurling, every ball being contested.
D/A trying to isolate Breen inside but difficult to make it stick for any player.
Goal for Breen! Reidy hits the post with a free, Corofin donāt deal with it, Fitzgibbon intercepts, plays it across to Breen who finishes from close range. Showed good composure.
The Creeves lads cleaned up on him for HOTY, backed him at big odds when off the panel
