I’d 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 it’s 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 don’t 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
Corofin 0-11 Dromin/Athlacca 1-06 at half-time.
Very absorbing game. Loads of tackles & hits, every ball being fought for. D/A will be happy enough as there looks like they will have an absolute gale in the second half. Now, Corofin have found accuracy difficult enough at times but it makes a big difference on puckouts for sure.
Cian Scully stopped a certain goal chance with a brilliant tackle on Diarmuid Cahill but has also been guilty of some short passes being slightly off which have led to scores. In these conditions, short 50/50 passes probably aren’t ideal, need to make sure of it. A turnover in these positions almost certainly leads to a score for the team with the wind at their back.
Cahill got a hat-trick last time for Corofin but has been fairly well held so far, D/A are defending very well. But James Organ, the full-forward, has 0-4 from play and I think Gearoid Cahill has a couple from out the field too.
David Reidy has been superb for D/A, a real leadership role and Daniel Scully has scored a couple of absolute beauties. He’ll surely be on the Limerick 20s panel next year, had a really impressive campaign. Good use of the ball for a young fella.
Conditions are septic tbh, there was a horizontal downpour there for about 10 mins, but it is making it engrossing. I expected Corofin to be much too strong for D/A tbh, but D/A competing well, a lot of the young lads stepping up.

D/A have changed from the all-blue jersey to the hooped jersey at half-time.
Another absolute downpour. 1 in it.
Corofin goal pushes the lead out to 5. That could be that. D/A haven’t really put together a run of scores.
Straight red for Mark Fitzpatrick.
Dromin/Athlacca 1-15 Corofin 1-19
The better team in the second half tbf; D/A didn’t make as much use of the conditions as they could have.
The goal towards the end was the crucial score.
21s group delayed for weeks to accommodate Belville Gaels and then they give a walkover today. A joke.
We had a 21s football match v Oola postponed because Doon were hurling and then NCW gave them a walkover yesterday.
There needs to be much more severe punishment brought in for walkovers.

Hardly expect the Feenagh boys to play in the farce of an u21 competition when they’re through to a Munster final in 2 weeks time. The u21A has had a crazy amount of walkovers/postponements and the geniuses involved in sorting fixtures still insisted on having groups of 6 rather than 3 when it was obvious pitches would be impossible to get.
Two years in a row Belville have pulled out of 21s. The other side of the amalgamation must be pretty pissed off.
