Replying To CARPS: "I think a solution there is to reduce each grade to six teams and then ban second teams from Senior, Intermediate and Junior A. Before anyone says "that just means Eire Og will win Junior B every year," no it won't. Playing junior B wouldn't be attractive so better players from the intermediate side would consider moving to Asca, Tinryland or the Blues. Also, given half the county lives in the the town, I think chaps from the town should be allowed to play for whoever they want. If a guy from New Oak Estate wants to play for Ballon or Grange, why not? ps. I think the original long post above is a very good idea. But I don't think our clubs would have the ambition to do it." Have you no parish rule in Carlow? Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 20668 - 10/09/2026 14:22:51 2693414 Link
Replying To CarlowJuniorB: "Lads from the town won't want to play with other teams outside of the town. They want to play with people they're in school with and grow up with. Plus will parents drive out of town all the time?" Did I say it would be compulsory? I said it should be an option. That's all. Nobody is forcing them.

Replying To ACarlowGael: "What's unfair is someone playing senior for 5 minutes and getting no more game time for the rest of the year after training for 8/9 months" Them are the breaks. It's still a lot fairer than giving bigger clubs an advantage against smaller clubs. However, if we had separate reserve competitions for 2nd and 3rd teams, that would be another story. What about six senior clubs, six intermediate and eight Junior A, with no second teams allowed? CARPS (Carlow) - Posts: 1146 - 10/09/2026 15:37:06 2693426 Link

It's up to clubs and to deal with that issue. It would definitely be abused in the early stages of the championship anyway Collio (Carlow) - Posts: 148 - 10/09/2026 16:36:02 2693442 Link
very good relegation last night. MLR were the stronger team overall and deserved the win. Some score to win it Dualclub1 (Carlow) - Posts: 310 - 10/09/2026 17:08:38 2693451 Link
