Great idea.... Think it could work better with teams from west limerick and west cork involved though. cut the travel aswel as boost hurling in those regions along with Kerry. Good to see innovations though

That will rule out players based away from their home clubs and fellas tied down with work so. I suppose Kerry feel they need to do something similar to the Táin Leagues to give their club players more exposure. Hope it's a success.

anyone from tipp/lim/clare, what do you make of the clubs from your counties, how would you rate them?

Weak Senior teams from Limerick but senior Nonetheless. The both teams haven't been good in a number of years.

Not living in Tipp atm so I'm not totally in the loop. Kilruane should be strong on paper. They have a couple of county players like O'Meara and Henessey but I can't see them playing club matches midweek during the summer. Clonoulty made the county final in 2010 and 2011. Don't know much about Cappawhite. Don't think that the Clare clubs are that strong, think Broadford and Scarriff might have been Intermediate in the not too distant past. Clare fans will fill ye in but I think Broadford might be the strongest.

The Clare clubs are three senior clubs and the Mills would probably be the best of them!!

I think its a great idea for what it's worth
