Replying To MinorChamp_09:  "I dont think CG are particularly good i just think Annaghdown are bad. Best win of recent years was a group vistory over Tuam a few weeks ago and how did things work out for Tuam in the end?"
There's no reason why Annaghdown should be any good at this stage. Likely the 7th or 8th seed in the last eight, themselves and Monivea.

See the fixtures out -anyone understand the rational behind relegation playoff between claregalway and corofin.
If they were in different groups it would make sense

I think it's because they both went out at the same stage of the championship. It's probably how the rule was written at the start of the championship. However, since both were in the same group and Corofin finished ahead of them, it looks odd now.
I'd still expect Corofin to beat them again though.

Was that not sorted at the group stage? Corofin won and came second in the group and thus sent Claregalway to a relegation/promotion play off with a Premier Junior 2 team. I was of the understanding that this wouldn't have stood if Claregalway then progressed further in the knockout competition, but Corofin and Claregalway both got beaten in the next round versus St Brendan's and Glenamaddy. A strange decision if this is the case as Corofin on countback had superior results over the competition and finished higher than Claregalway.
