They're being reduced in status, for winners anyway, in the system proposed for 2026. The 8 FINALISTS will be in 1 pot and all get a home game in Round 1. So Limerick beat Waterford and are equal in status to say Donegal who beat Monaghan, Tyrone, Derry and Armagh to win Ulster.

A baffling decision! But no surprise, nothing but consistent for baffling decisions! The logical approach would be provincial winners drawn against Seed 4 and provincial runners-up drawn against Seed 3. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8173 - 27/09/2024 12:55:16 2572087 Link 0 |
OK, there is some value in getting seeded for ONE round. My main point is that with a level playing field unseeded Last 8, a good league effort is no longer rewarded. Maybe half of Tier 1 league teams advancing to Sam provides a sufficient balance between incentive and jeopardy.
