Quote from: SpeculativeEffort on February 28, 2026, 09:26:13 PMWhen Laois beat Dublin, the GAA changed the format of the Leinster cship making it a 6 team cship.
They should have left it at 5 as Laois winning actually showed that it was possible for the 11th best team in Ireland to (sometimes) pull off a shock against an 8th best (3rd in Leinster + 5 in munster).
The 12th and 13th best teams has proven to be a bridge too far.
Leinster became 6 teams to prevent Dublin or Wexford from being relegated to Joe Mcdonagh covered up as a way of helping laois, carlow, offaly,etc.
