Replying To Sliotharyslope: "Our local media are referring to the Fethard v Rapparees game this week as a relegation final. As everyone will agree, finals are played by the 2 teams who have been unbeaten ( or in the modern round robin set up in some sports, lost the least amount of games). The Rapparees have won 1/5 games, whereas Fethard have lost all 5. How then can this relegation game to maintain senior status be called a final. It is a very important game for both clubs, but should only be referred to as a relegation playoff. Does insisting on it being called a final reward mediocrity and failure to call a spade a spade. Of course both teams will not be happy with their performances to date, but what does insisting on such events say about our level of ambition or even our mindset as a county? Good luck to whoever wins, but I would hope that the victors feel a sense of relief rather than feel they have any reason to celebrate avoiding relegation." It's been called a relegation final for an awful long time now, it's not some recent development, I get the argument that we've accepted mediocrity for too long and have become too accustomed to it but I really don't think calling a game a relegation play-off rather than a relegation final would make any difference
