There are housing estates in Carrigaline and Mallow with nearly the same population as Clonakilty. No comparison really.The relegation final is on this weekend also, would be disappointing for Mallow after recent years successes to go down again. Would any of these teams , Carrigaline or Mallow, actually be missed at this grade?
Both big population towns like Clonakilty and perhaps this grade should be restructured as the gap between the top clubs from the Big 3 is getting wider year in year out.
The premier senior has the top 3 plus about 4 more more making the main 6 or 7 senior teams. The rest including Carrigaline, Mallow and the likes of the senior A finalists are on the merry go round between lower Premier senior and senior A
