Quote from: paddyjohn on May 16, 2025, 02:07:47 PMI think we need to go back to straight knock out. Enough of the this group rubbish.

Correct. It's shite. Sort the leagues out proper, make it a real competitive competition and then straight do or die knock out championship. Don't like group formats at all,  doesn't have any real championship feel to the games imo

How do you make a league competitive when you only have a few players available for most of the season?

Also what does it achieve? Other than staying up or promotion from the bottom tiers bigger teams aren't that motivated and happier to stay up, do enough and concentrate on the championship

Personally I'd get rid of the groups, have a knockout, but... with a backdoor, that second bite of the cherry..

Surely theres enough talent within the county to have an homegrown man in. Kevin Brady or Kevin Madden?

Most of our underage teams get drubbed every year. Cargin got drubbed in the Ulster Club. How would the county team be anything other than near the bottom.

Yeah but the two teams that have easily beaten us in the last two games will be playing Div 3 next year

It's not Tyrone & Kerry
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

Hell hath frozen over, for I'm wholeheartedly in agreement with a Cargin man!

Not one player from either club has refused a call-up. The calls never came. But go ahead BelfastGAAman, tell us what you know?
