Fair enough, is there promotion and relegation?
Iām honestly not sure 
We used to have a pretty good league system, on an all-county basis which had divisions of 8 down all the way and there was promotion & relegation. I remember for years we were stuck down in Division 4 and it was seen as a bit of an achievement for us to get promoted out of that grade.
But a couple of years ago, they went divisional. So we went from being a Division 3/4 side in the league (because stripped of 6/7 county players thatās what we were) to playing Na Piarsaigh, Patrickswell, Ballybrown who were winning Division 1 previously.
So thereās a Senior league, an Intermediate league and a Junior league in each of the divisions with county semi-finals & final. So certain teams have definitely targeted winning a trophy but I donāt think thereās definite relegation. For example, the top City team in the intermediate league would be a junior team and you couldnāt make them play Na Piarsaighās first team.

Fair enough, I know of lads out in Cappamore on about the East league and finding it bizarre given ye got rid of serious divisional championships years ago.
We have a good system here in Tipp now with divisions of 12 (2 groups of 6).
I think they are bringing in relegation & promotion this year which would be a good caret for the teams in division 2 and 3.
There would be a lot more bite to proceedings in the east

There used to be a lot of walkovers in the county league, so I think the divisional thing is to do with that. The problem was more midweek games really and fellas away, but it seems to be all weekends now, for the moment at least

Big teams like The Well giving walkovers in the league but buzzing with 30+ players come championship.

I remember in the mid 2000s there was a Munster senior league. It could throw up some box office ties if resurrected by @peddlerscross

I have a vague recollection of checking results of that competition on Aertel circa 2005.
Newtownshandrum vs Thurles Sarsfields and the likes.
Theres a very prestigious Ulster Club Football League that still runs.
Conleith Gilligan said it was a big step for Kilcoo when they won the 2019 edition on their way to winning that years Ulster Club Championship.

The Wexford Championship being run off in a clay court style blitz format in June and July doesnt help their cause down there.
