They're in the junior championship because they weren't good enough to win it previously. League and championship aren't linked in some counties and that's fair enough as far I'm concerned.
I'd more so have an issue with Blackhill being a yo-yo club every few years, Glenullin remaining at intermediate level for two years running, or a club like Cullyhanna being relegated to intermediate via their league position, ignoring the fact they'd played 90% of the league without their county representatives. This then gave them a pretty straightforward intermediate title in Armagh and a crack at Ulster, despite being a senior club at full strength. A system like Cavan's would eradicate these problems and ensure teams that win championships move up accordingly, and those that have county representation aren't relegated to a lower tier championship via league position undeservedly.
So league shouldn't matter? Ok, let Dublin play tailteann cup.. Kilkenny play Christy ring
Dublin are the All Ireland Champions. Kilkenny were in the All Ireland Final. What are you talking about?
They play Div 1. Monaghan and Tipperary then...
Monaghan are Div 1 and were in an AI Semi Final, keep searching.
It is the same principal. Div 1 team.
Yes I understand. The point is that it's unfair
A team play if div 1 players better teams, better standard, better preparation. It improves them overall. That's why the structure in hurling is there. You play teams your level, to improve.
Same as Juvenile grades, you're seeded on your ability. Not on because of a out dated league and champ separation system.
The predictor of championship ability in Cavan is championship results.
If you want to make it league too, we'd be sending Denn (won Ulster Junior 2 years ago and good enough to get to intermediate final this year) which I presume you'd also feel was unfair.
Also don't see how you can call it "outdated" particularly when teams now don't have county players for the majority of the league, if anything separating them is a more modern school of thought.
