Replying To HandballRef:  "I think it will end up being a better system than the groups we've had for the last few years. The stakes are higher with every game. No dead rubbers. The Christy Ring / Nicky Rackard competitions followed something similar, not sure if they still do."

Replying To Seanfan:  "Hurling got rid of it.
Anyway win 2 games you're in the QFs, lose 2 and you're eliminated"
