You don't get graded as u15 A or B as I explained in a previous post

Maybe that Ballacolla team are all at the age for 2020 u15 A and have no one coming through for u15 in 2021

Camross are in a similar situation,they have to bring up a whole rake of u13's in 2021 to field at u15

[The Rover]

Where are the following clubs,
Ballyfin,
Mountmellick,
Clonaslee

[The Rover]

are they Na Fianna?

great to see Portarlington and Emo.

[Laois man]

Sure all club would be bringing in U13s to a U15 panel most minor teams have U15s on there starting team. 2 senior clubs and a junior club going together to make up one U15 team how can the small single club match that?

I presume you brought your concerns over this amalgamation to the relevant person in the county board before the gradings were finalized for the 2021 season?.

The proposed amalgamations were with all the clubs well in advance of the gradings being set in stone.

[clonadmad]

At U15

St. Pauls
(Courtwood & Emo)

Na Fianna
(Ballyfin, Clonaslee St Manmans, Mountmellick & Slieve Bloom)

[clonadmad]

are they Na Fianna?

great to see Portarlington and Emo.

Yes its great to see both Port and Pauls building their way up through the juvenile ranks against all the odds

hopefully in a year or two they will be in a position to put in standalone minor teams also.

A lot could learn from them in the promotion of underage hurling within the county

[burdizzo]

St. Paul's are with RPG at u15.
