Waterford voted last night. Skippy2 (Carlow) - Posts: 53 - 28/11/2023 17:48:57 2514920 Link 0 |
I think our great and good voted to stay "odd". I make that a 7 to 5 split in Leinster, taking Kilkenny into account. Can anyone explain how this will work out at minor / u17 level, or indeed u19/20 when it comes to Leinster Championship time ?.

Inter-county competions simply remain at U17 and U20, no matter what ages counties decide to run their own internal club competitions at. For instance, in Wexford we ran U18 and U21 club competitions this year, but our county teams still had be U17 and U20. Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 1956 - 30/11/2023 11:07:58 2515060 Link 0 |
Yeah probably makes sense. Aldo the football clubs will have a vote aswell, and Kilkenny league won't have any influence in which way they vote Skippy2 (Carlow) - Posts: 53 - 30/11/2023 13:56:06 2515087 Link 0 |
Limerick's shifting to even ages (U8, 10, 12). Tipperary maintains odd ages (U9, 11, 13). Unsure about other counties' plans. Silverston1 (USA) - Posts: 3 - 03/12/2023 19:19:41 2515379 Link 0 |
No but in terms of player retention bringing minor back to 18s make sense. Kilkenny voted to go evens last night

Yes heard that this morning. Minor should never have gone back to u17 in the 1st place. Hopefully intercounty will go back to u18 minor, and u21 now too. Too big of a step between u20 and Senior the way Senior intercounty is going S and C wise.

It was a crazy decision driven by some fantasy that gaa players are just gaa players, forgetting they are soccer players rugby players etc all who offered 18s grade. Imagine spending all that time trying to up participation only to hand them over at 18
