Replying To katser:  "So this famous Reeves Cup aka Junior A will have 16 teams with no promotion to Premier Junior and no relegation from Premier Junior!
I've heard someone say there is a Junior B team currently in the Co. Semi Final and they are good enough to win Junior B,Junior A and Premier Junior over the next two years but they won't be allowed upto Premier Junior because of being a traditional Clubs 2nd team yet when they win the Junior B this year they can represent Galway in the All Ireland series But when they win the Junior A next year they can't represent Galway in the All Ireland series!!
Yet they are plenty good to beat most of those Premier Junior Clubs!"
Its a great solution.It allows smaller clubs with a good team a chance to win a title and still gives second club teams a competition.

Premier Junior is a calamity.......for example Abbeyknockmoy win it next year get promoted to Intermediate. Rahoon-Newcastle get relegated to Premier Junior from Intermediate next year.
Following year Rahoon-Newcastle win Premier Junior and get promoted to Intermediate. Then Killimor get relegated from Intermediate to Premier Junior.
Point is whoever gets relegated from Intermediate is too strong for those Premier Junior Clubs and it will be a sea-saw effect.
The current 9 Premier Junior Clubs excluding Abbeyknockmoy would be eaten alive up in Intermediate.

Replying To TheBuckfastBadger:  "The Junior B All Ireland was set up by Killeedy Gaa club in Limerick it's not ran by "Croke Park". A second team can't go through to the All-Ireland series in any county not just Galway."
Can you name any Galway Club who won the Junior A All Ireland?
