Should divisional teams be in all Ireland club championships?

[the_man_himself]

Why does it matter?

[Perez2017]

You should earn the right to be senior. Make senior championship much more competitive too.

[the_man_himself]

The senior championship is really competitive

What championship level are Spa, Na Gaeil, John Mitchells at?

intermediate , na gaeil won junior in 2019 so intermediate in 2020

There are 5 vibrant GAA clubs, 4 football 1 hurling within the urban boundary in Tralee, 3 and 1 is the equivalent figure in Killarney. You will struggle to find that elsewhere in the country in equivalent size towns. Portlaoise has one club for example

32 teams is causing fixtures chaos in tipp. Has to change.

[peddlerscross]

It’s chaos but everyone seems to love it

[the_man_himself]

Not really. Tipp got to an All Ireland this year and there wasn’t really any issues with getting finished on time

You’re not very well informed on Kerry football. Austin Stacks, Kevin O’Rahilly’s and John Mitchels are the Big 3 in Tralee. You’ve also got Na Gaeil in Tralee, club of Jack Barry.

Na Gaeil had the biggest representation on the Kerry starting 15 in the AIF replay. May already have surpassed John Mitchels to be in the big 3 and closing in on the others. Younger population up their end of the town

[peddlerscross]

The dual clubs just need to forget about it though with midweek games.

[the_man_himself]

Yeah but that’s going to happen whether Senior B is called intermediate or not.

What would be far healthier for Kerry football is splitting Tralee and Killarney down further, is it two clubs in each town and having a club championship with 16 actual clubs.

@Cicero_Dandi

How many in Killarney?

@ChairmanDan

Three. Dr Crokes, Legion and Spa.

You’ve been destroyed.

[Perez2017]

Get rid of divisional championships, a relic of the past.

[anon23727452]

I think in a county like Kerry they are crucial to keeping small clubs going. It’s different in every county. Some countries used to use them to develop younger players from smaller clubs for inter county purposes. I think with the colleges and development squads that isn’t required anymore.

[Ashman]

Agree but if you said that in north Kerry I would fear for your safety

[the_man_himself]

Divisional championships are great. You wouldn’t get it if you aren’t from Tipp

[myboyblue]

The boys in Emmetts take them very seriously

[Cicero_Dandi]

Why are rural GAA clubs in Kerry so shit in comparison to other counties?

[anon23727452]

When did the junior championship all Ireland start? Kerry have won 9 since 02. So hardly shit.

[Cicero_Dandi]

Contrast Dublin to Kerry.

The 33rd best clubbin Dublin represent them at intermediate level. The 25th best club in Kerry represent them at junior level. Tyrone and Mayo would have their 33rd best club representing them at junior level.

[anon23727452]

Do you see any differences between Dublin and Kerry.
