All Ireland Club Championships 2024

To be fair it's not Austin Stacks fault that they are in this position.

There is a handy Intermediate Club AI to be won and you can't expect them to renege on that.

The system is set up for them and it's up to the authorities to set the rules.

Glenullin, while in Intermediate requested to play Derry Senior championship one year, left a odd 17 team senior championship that year.

[DuffleKing]

Yea but they'd just won the intermediate so they should have been senior - Derry shoud have relegated a club to facilitate.

So they won intermediate but had to request to be moved up to senior?

Yes, linked with the league. Glenullin didn't want to be playing intermediate, they wanted senior

Senior All Ireland club is the only level playing field, intermediate and junior isn't, not sure what can be done about it. Most clubs who are actual junior and intermediate level just hope for a kind draw when heading into the provincials

Nonsense. You are talking about 2 different times, this was a number of years ago when they had just been relegated from senior .

[oakleaflad]

All the nonsense during the Covid years really didn't help Glenullin. Should have been promoted a couple times. Held Desertmartin and Craigbane back from promotion to intermediate/Div 2 also. There was a few years where there was no promotion/relegation if I remember correctly.

Edit: Aware this isn't the time Glenullin played in the 17 team senior championship, which was a good number of years earlier.

Honestly can't get my head around some county structures. In Tyrone if you win the league, league playoffs or Championship you're promoted. You have 1 team go straight down and second and third from bottom in senior play against each other, loser is relegated and winner meets the playoff winner from intermediate. Think they complicated it too much. Should go back to what it was, bottom 2 teams go down just and league winner and championship winner in intermediate are promoted. Just found it funny how after winning intermediate Glenullin had to ask to be promoted lol

That third playoff spot Keeps the league interesting especially if one team has pulled away. There's something to play for, for the next 4. Means more competitive games for longer.

Crossmolina were relegated in 2018. They were not good enough to remain in the Top 16 of Mayo Football! Winning the AI 17 years earlier has little relevance to the present Crossmolina group.

True obviously but still an interesting stat.

Last Mayo Connacht Intermediate winner was Westport who went on to win the All Ireland in 2017 taking out the Kerry champions on route. Crossmolina are similar now with their rise from the introduction of underage county players and along with current seniors Conor Loftus,Jordan Flynn they will very much fancy themselves to match Westport feat this January.

Little relevance but I guarantee they're sick of hearing about how much better those lads were than they are
