It is farcical in the split season and should be haulted.I suppose its now viewed by a pointless exercise outside of Imokilly.
The negativity surrounding divisions in general, the slim chance of even being competitive with Imokilly in a final and increased demands of club managers will turn off a lot of young lads.
UCC have struggled to field anywhere near their strongest team also since the year they had that epic game with Blackrock.
Imokilly and Duhallow were probably the most committed divisionsal teams in recent years but I suppose Kanturk going up the grades has torn the heart of out Duhallow in hurling. Still doing ok in football tbf.
Harsh on Imokilly because they have their house in order and have built up an identity and culture, but you either rezone the divisions based on strength of clubs/numbers or just scrap them altogether.
It has become increasingly farcical now with them putting out weakened sides.
It was a brilliant way for decades in Cork but the new club championship structure and the fixture congestion within the split season has nailed the coffin
