Reading a few post with various points being raised.
The emphasis being put on the Munster club competitions by people here is a bit too much I feel . As some posters have pointed out, have a proper run comp for our clubs is more important, and will likely improve teams at that level going forward which will hopefully result in national success but first and foremost a competitive championship is what is key. And I think you would be hard pressed to find any club or player from these clubs who would disagree.
With regards the selection criteria of goin gup (8 Div. Winners), I agree there is probably better and fairer ways to this but I'd imagine time constraints and getting a vote thru is the reason they went with this format. But also I think this is the county boards starting point for revamping the divisions - Don't be surprised to see another restructure in the coming years as some divisional comps are still so poorly run. Possibly even a chance of division amalgamation.
And to those saying junior divisions can now be run off in the summer months, I do hope you are right. But with some second teams involved in these, don't be surprised for divisions to wait until their first teams have played so that the 2nd teams can't be packed with players.
I also hear this week that Carrigdhoun are kicking off their football league this week with 4 weeks of games in a row..... and nothing again then for a few months. Happy to be corrected on this.
