Replying To SouthGalway:  "Does anyone know if Michael Cusacks (Kilbeacanty and Beagh) will ever have a Senior Hurling team? They do fairly well at Underage but have no Senior Team. Just wondering."
Not for now. They're both able to field at adult level. Underage was obviously different, when you need bigger numbers at each age group. They have a very good crop of lads either side of U15. I understand it's mainly Beagh in that group, but I'm open to correction.

Replying To WanPintWin:  "We've been over this before. The clubs voted quite strongly in favour of the new format. We had a ridiculous situation under the old format of senior players from big clubs playing the first few rounds of the Junior championship. It was very unfair to whoever met them in the first few games.
We'll see how it goes over the next few years. I wouldn't be so sure it will pan out as you say, based on your other predictions."
It's the Junior Clubs who are crying about trying to promote hurling, it's their choice to enter the hurling Championship. Therefore if you enter the lions den you better be prepared to fight the Lion! In others words get their own house in order and stop ridiculing hurling Clubs who have strong 2nd teams.
Annaghdown got their house in order 25yrs ago and won Junior C,B and A alll the way upto the old Intermediate Championship.
There is poor aul Tuam playing Junior F trying to promote hurling, yet if they became successful they can't get promoted to Premier Junior became the highest level they can go is Reeves Cup!

They got to the Feile division 1 final this year.
