Replying To CRTW:  "If Tinryland are exploring legal options I think it'll be a waste of time and money. They haven't even been relegated yet. If Louth didn't get a replay in 2010 I can't see this result being changed now. They'd be better off taking this emotion and putting it into a performance in a relegation final and taking a huge scalp out of senior football. Does anyone know what happens to Eire Ogs inter team if their senior is relegated? I've heard a few different things and just wondering does anyone have anything concrete?"
It's very simple.

if Eire Og are relegated, their Intermediate team drops to Junior A, and their Junior B team stays in Junior B.

Unless there is a fudge, and given the power of the club, it's not impossible.

Why would they be forced down to Junior? Why couldnt they have 2 intermediate teams?
Ballygunner are going to have 2 senior teams in the 2026 Waterford Senior hurling championship after winning the intermediate championship this year.
Just name 2 squads at the start of the year. If they split them both 50/50, both teams would be favourites to make the final of it.

Is this actual fact or just what you're saying should happen? I think sending their second team to junior is slightly unfair. They could make an intermediate final but lose and be relegated? Not exactly fair on the junior clubs either that a senior relegation impacts their grade so much the followig year as EO would surely just be heavy favourites to win that grade.
