OK so semi final is a straight promotion game and final is a decoration...

Top team in each group straight thru to semi
2nd teams straight thru to Qf
3rd and 4th teams play each other in a preliminary Qf with winners obviously thru to Qf against 2nd placed teams.
Losers playing off in relegation final.
I think it's the best proposal. Teams will have 2 chances to avoid relegation if that's not enough the relevant teams deserves to go down.
Hope the county board considers it seriously.
Quote from: Laois man on November 17, 2023, 11:26:43 PMBut lads we have 16 senior football team and county board feels that's OK 6 of them won't win the intermediate Cship but10 teams in the hurling is too many.
Quote from: Verbal on November 16, 2023, 09:08:08 PMI think they are proposing 12 because it's safe to assume that will fail.
10 was too risky- it might have passed.
I think 6 would be a poor move.
The only benefit being that we'd be strong in Leinster Intermediate. Hardly the be all & end all.
We have 8 teams. It works as a number.
No need to change that.
But I do think the CB have strongly influenced the proposal of 12 being on the table- Safe in the knowledge that it would be a lot more likely to fail than 10!
Quote from: Laois Rising on November 16, 2023, 02:43:55 PMWe have a bloated football championship that doesn't work and now we want to bloat our hurling championship. I would rather a 6 team championship played as a round robin with top team straight to the final and second v third through to a semi-final. Every club is guaranteed five competitive matches and with the progress Abbleyleix, Castletown and The Harps are making we could realistically expect six competitive teams to make up the group. We then would be sending our seventh ranked club into the Leinster intermediate who should be competitive at the standard.
For the development of the game the more championship games the top teams are playing against one another where there is something on the line the better. Ballyfin are the tenth ranked team presently in Laois and they are a long way off the standard required to compete at senior. What is the point of having them play at that level to be comprehensively beaten and weaken the senior and intermediate championship.

Donald Trump is the man that would make Laois great again.
Judging by the standard of the senior championship matches last weekend not even God almighty can save us let alone Trump , Mary , Joseph , Jesus , Kinsella , Martin Murphy and whoever else's name gets linked to the managerial vacancy
