Midleton beat Sars 2-20 to 2-18 in the relegation play off. Big surprise Sars getting relegated as they have always been very competitive
Why not?Avondhu must be the only division with no relegation from Junior a in hurling or football
Why not?
Didn't see your message until I posted mine, perfectly summed up thoughDont know. Its up to the clubs themselves if they want to drop to junior b. A few clubs in JAHC are only just about hanging on atm. Fermoy, Kilworth, Doneraile and Castletown for example regraded themselves over last 5/6 years. Grange did likewise in JAFC
There hasn't been relegation play-offs in the Avondhu Junior championship since around 2013. Since then, a lot of Avondhu clubs got promoted to Intermediate so there were less Junior clubs, so they may have thought it would be better to scrap relegation to protect the number of clubs in their championships.Avondhu must be the only division with no relegation from Junior a in hurling or football
I think there's talks of re-introducing it. I wouldn't say anything concrete though from what I hear.There hasn't been relegation play-offs in the Avondhu Junior championship since around 2013.

In recent years, some teams underperforming at Junior A, opted down to Junior B voluntarily i.e. Ballyclough, Doneraile and Castletownroche.
I personally think they should reintroduce relegation and recreate the Foxy Leary Cup - North Cork Junior B hurling competition, a competitive competition one time and always a curtain raiser to the Junior A final. There's definitely 3 or 4 Junior A teams in Avondhu that would be better off down Junior B, with a genuine chance of winning the competition. Promotion to Junior A could be gained by either winning the county direct or else winning the Foxy Leary Cup and earn a play-off against the "relegated team".
