No better man than Jack Browne to teach a cocky 17 year old a lesson

The cocky 17 year old had the last laugh though

Thanks! I did not expect to read 42-year-old former All Star Ger Farragher forced extra-time with his 11th point in the fifth minute of injury-time in their preliminary quarter-final.

He was some talent. I remember scoring points from sideline cuts as a 16 year old in a minor all ireland final.

Do their Senior B champions compete in the All Ireland Intermediate Series?

No, their intermediate winners do, same as here only Offaly and Westmeath let their senior b champions in

So will the clubs no longer in Senior B be eligible to qualify for the All Ireland series which means Galway will have stronger representatives for the competition?

Yes.

Another reason if one was needed to give even less of a fuck about the club all Irelands. There's no credible grading system and many of the senior ones in both codes will be shared out among the same 10 or so clubs. Half of whom are 3500+ member clubs in Dublin.
