Barcelona 10 points up v the kilkenny champions in the Leinster junior.

Is this the first time a European team has won a club game?

Great stuff from the Barcelona team.

Ballinagar are in the quarter finals too, but they the Offaly intermediate champions. Anyone know why they are in this and not the Leinster intermediate championship?

Seems very unfair.

Intermediate is 3rd tier in Offaly after Senior A and Senior B.

Mind you Intermediate is 3rd tier in Cork and Galway hurling but the winners are in the Provincial Intermediate.

There is senior B in Laois also, but it acts more like the bottom half teams in Senior go into Senior B, its not exactly a grade. Is Offaly's Senior B a stand alone grade? if so why the rebrand, why not just call it intermediate?

Yes  ;D  ;D  ;D

Also, given the relative strength of the different counties and the, ahem, perhaps somewhat less of a priority given to the big ball game in kilkenny, I'm not sure how much difference it makes, but Conahy Shamrocks are the Kilkenny intermediate champs, even though they also have a junior championship. Their senior champions play in the Leinster inter. In previous years I think the Longford intermediate champions have also played Leinster junior.
