First of all im not bitter im just trying to be realistic. I acknowledge that cappy and annaghdown have done brialliantly getting this far-my point is let them win out the intermediate c'ship...then i would say without doubt that they deserve a place in senior hurling. Its quite possible that ballindereen will get relegated having lost a game already-what will they be thinkin seeing the quality of teams coming up???

IMO the Intermediate champions should go straight up Senior while the runners up should play-off against the team 2nd from bottom in the round robin Senior relegation group.
What would people think of that system ?

John Doe...that would be the best system and it has been proposed over the last few yrs but was defeated each time. the reason being that intermediate clubs wont vote for it as it would make it harder for them to come up and the senior teams that are always at the higher end of the championship dont really care and therefore would not be that pushed to vote for it. For the sake of the intermediate championship something should be done as it dosnt mean as much to win it anymore. If that system was to be used this year it could quite possibly end up with someone like Ballinderreen playing either Cappa or Annaghdown & if either of these teams wernt able to beat B'derreen then maybe they arnt ready for senior and they must realise this themselves. There still is a fair difference between the lower ranking senior teams and the majority of intermediate teams...this yr b'derreen beat craughwell by 7 pts & drew wit mellows, turlough drew 2 games and only lost to portumna by 2 pts, yet one of the these teams are likely to be relegated!! Could either cappa or annaghdown honestly say that they are capable of competing at that level yet? Yes they deserve their chance if they come up but all wer saying is that there needs to be a better system in place.

I'd say Annaghdown and Cappataggle will be on Sat week as Annaghdown have being playing 3 weeks in a row and are due a week off

Annaghdown's corner forward is a charachter anyway.

Was at the match today... Annaghdown just didn have enough heart. No forwards showed up and Cappy were up for the tustle to win it out in bad cold conditions. Pity i would have loved to see Annaghdown face Tourlough next year.... Oh well theres always next year lads.
