Too many teams in the Senior Championship. I understand that the weak group was made so that these teams would have competitive games...but if you need to manufacture competitiveness then surely those teams shouldn't be in the division. I would argue that Ballymahon, Rathcline and Fr. Manning Gaels are Intermediate sides and by placing them back there it would increase the competitiveness of both the Senior AND Intermediate championships.
Keep 10 teams. 2 groups of 5. Top team to semis, 2nd and 3rd teams to quarters and have bottom team in each playoff. Lots of meaningful games. Weak divisions make a mockery of the group stages.
