Which Inter County Championship is the most enjoyable competition?

[Rossfan]

Kilkenny maybe

Maybe it is time to move to the Kerry system of divisional teams in the football.

Teams who havn't won a Provincial title in years would be forced to combine to improve standards.

We could merge some of the weaker counties as follows:

In Munster Limerick + Clare and Tipp + Waterford. The Munster Championship would then be 2 semis and a final.

In Lenister you could merge natural allies such as Louth + Meath, Longford + W'meath, Offaly + Laois, Carlow + Kilkenny + Wexford, Kildare + Wicklow. Leinster would be 2 1/4s, 2 semis and a final.

In Ulster say Tyrone + Fermanagh, Derry + Antrim + Down, Armagh + Cavan. Ulster would have one 1/4, 2 semis and a final.

Connacht would see Leitrim + Sligo, London + Roscommon, Galway + New York. Connacht would have 2 semis and a final and surely they could manage to run them off within 3 months?

Of course like the Kerry system, where only proper clubs would be allowed to go on and compete in the All-Ireland series, only the stand alone counties would be allowed to go for Sam. No back doors either.

London and Roscommon - where would they train? Wales? Isle of Man?

Merging Louth and Meath? After 2010?

Good point.
After the disgraceful way they behaved back then I want nothing to do with them.

I voted the SHC. There can be so many upsets, until they play Kilkenny that is. Tipp v Galway was brilliant last Summer.
