Would it not have made sense to fix the intermediate football & junior football games between Mayo & Kerry opposition as a double header?

Ennis or Limerick would be close enough to half way between the teams (Ennis probably closer to the halfway point).

Especially with Westport and Louisburgh being neighbouring clubs, I would have thought a lot of people would want to go and see both games.

It is a double header in Ennis. Both games are being streamed live by localstreaming.club as well.

Change noted...makes sense for once.

I see that Glenbeigh/Glencar are 1/4 to beat Louisburgh and Kenmare are 1/5 to beat Westport with Paddy Power. Just shows you how weak the standard of Connacht club football is. The standard of Intermediate and Junior Football must be really high in Kerry. I wonder how they manage to have such a high standard compared to other counties?

Get over it, or go push for a revamp of the Championships in Mayo to bolster the standard of the lower grades. Galway could do likewise as well, 20 teams in senior is too much.

Mayo have 45 clubs with a 16 team senior , 16 team intermediate and the rest in junior championship. The junior championship is split in A, B and C with 4 groups in each but Junior B and C is mainly reserve teams with only Kilmovee shamrocks, Eastern Gaels in Junior B and Moygownagh in Junior C being first teams of clubs so 11 of the 16 clubs in Junior A are clubs first teams.

Mayo could probably pair down the junior championship to A & B and I think maybe divisional teams in the senior championship should be tried again in some way but I son't think there are too many senior , intermediate and Junior A teams damaging the standard of club football.

Underage coaching in clubs & schools would do more to improve standards than changes to championship structures.

Honestly think alot of counties have to reduce the amount of senior clubs in their counties like Kerry ( I think) have done.  Will never happen I know. Think this "Senior B" that some counties have is a nonsense. Should be branded intermediate which is what it is.

Standard of Kerry club football is excellent and that is why they are winning all around them at junior and intermediate levels.

Cannot see Slaughtneil being beaten in the football. Saw them on telly before Christmas and they looked excellent. Very well balanced which is the key at this level.

The trimming Louisburgh got wasnt as surprise as they weren't that convincing in a fairly average Connacht junior championship. I would expect Westport to give a better account of themselves as the Port would give the best Mayo senior clubs a decent game.

[maigheo]

Kenmare ahead by a point at HT.After a shaky opening Westport have dominated the game and should be a few ahead.

Westport 1-6 Kenmore 0-9
