Replying To Green&redforever:  "Good help people going to Dungarvan for the basement battle. It pains me that this game appears to be to see who the weakest team in the country is.
I'm told the championship structure is set in stone. Going to 10 senior 8 inter and 4 junior over the next 2 years.
What about the co board decision to split Div 2 but into 2 groups of 6 and play tge 5 rds with most likely to be without county players and then play 3 more rounds with county players but those 3 worth 3 pts for a win but no change to Div one I'm heard. New to this but frustrated watching Longford last Sunday. ( I won't be going to dungarvan btw but only cos it's just too far in an old car!)"
The championship structure realistically needs to go to max. 8 senior and 8 intermediate to regain competitiveness. Its been lop-sided for decades too long. The same with the leagues. Div.2 is going to be split to accommodate Killoe having 2 teams in it (Not sure how it will work out if they meet each other in it). I don't think Killoe want this or have a say in it. Different points for different rounds just undermines the whole league, The CB need to sit down and work out a longer term plan which will work, and really sell it to the clubs to buy into, for the good of the county. No more of this self-interest, point-scoring nonsense. Too many decisions are based on gathering the most votes at the next convention.
