Anybody that was keeping an eye on the Junior A in the last few years knew it had to change . Second team clubs get to play games earlier in the summer , dont get effected by dual clubs and intercounty players.
First team clubs get a level playing field in Premier Junior from the start of the championship. Every team so far have got some sort of positive result. I dont think people grasp how difficult it is for a first team club to get lads training or even playing when its not the dominant sport . You compare that to a lad whos training senior with the first team , probably playing senior league and gets good games at Reeves cup
I think the system is fair now, referencing when Annaghown and Spideal won the Junior A is grand , but we really need as many hurling clubs as possible , we do enough gate keeping as we are , but fairplay to the county board having some PremierJunior games in county grounds is good aswel .

Absolutely. As well as this, it's important to note that this wasn't a dictat from the county board. A motion was sent in relation to this, I believe from Kilbeacanty originally. It was adjusted slightly and then put to all hurling clubs to vote on.
It passed with just shy of 70% in favour of the new structure.
The way some people go on here, you'd almost think they want fewer people in the county playing hurling.

Replying To Lockerroomboy: "I would say that not any adult from Pembrokestown plays with the martins, or i go further and say no one from Pembrokestown plays adult gaa with any club" More likely the latter, although are many people actually from Pembrokestown? Im not an aul lad and even I remember when it was mainly fields ;-)
