Replying To legendzxix: "Galway earned home advantage in Round 1 by beating Division 4 Leitrim. Clare qualified for the All Ireland championship in 24 and 25 by getting the better of Division 4 opponents. Provincial runners-up are indeed being overly rewarded."
100%. Provincial Champions should get a home draw v the 4 lowest seeds. Other 8 in the 1 pot, open draw.
