good question. Was wondering myself, so hoked about and came across this :

Teams will discover the identity of their first round opponents when the draws for the 2016 senior provincial hurling and football championships take place live on RTE2 television on Thursday week, October 15.

Please dont give Meath, Carlow/Wicklow again

Leinster hurling draw is a bit farcical. A qualifier group of Offaly, Westmeath, Carlow & Kerry - the winners will play Galway in QF and the runners up will play Laois. Surely you'd be better finishing 2nd then ????

Cork v Tipp in first round of Munster hurling!

LuckyGent88

Happy to get Waterford in the semi final. Very similar style of play and will be a great test first up against a very progressive team.

Time for Davy to step up.

Wow !!! Cork v Tipp in Prelim Rd., aka quarter final.

Waterford certainly a tough nut now.

Munster is some show. No matter what came out it was going to be good, though that quarter final looks like a great way to kick it off.

It's a great championship. Semple for the final is on the bucketlist and I'd be no huge lover of the stick.

Offaly hopefully come second, win and they lose to Galway they are back in round robin next year, come second and they beat Laois they avoid it for 2017

Galway play in Leinster because of no Connacht championship why are Kerry not in Munster draw instead of Leinster?

Got Antrim's place because of winning the 2nd tier thing didn't they?

Right, but why not put them in Munster anyway?

Winner of the Christy Ring Cup goes into the Leinster Champo. Very unfair. Why should Leinster have to take them (whoever they are) AND Galway, while Munster gets to remain a closed shop of just 5 counties?

Another Kerry v Cork Munster football final by the looks of it.

Munster Football.
Clare/Lim v Kerry
Watford/Tipp v Cork

No sign of A and B sides yet but that does not mean that they will introduce them later

Edit : Actually there is an A and B.
Right now Cork, Mayo and Galway are the big guns in B.

Well, the Munster C'ship is miles ahead of Leinster this year. Antrim have retreated to the hills, so its logical enough to replace them. Kerry would be slaughtered by any of the Munster teams. And that would serve no useful purpose.

Mayo or London v Galway in Connacht SF

Didn't realise Cork and Kerry had a chance of meeting before the final, though the Munster council have dodged a bullet. When did they stop pre-arranging it, is this the first year?

Its the first year in long time. There was no seperation for a few years in the late 90s/ early 00s.

I'm pretty sure they would be slaughtered by Galway and Killkenny too & put down with relative ease by the likes of Wexford and Dublin. What useful purpose would that serve either?

Connacht draw not too dissimilar from last year, Mayo will walk it again I'm afraid.

People will say that every year until the year they are finally beaten. When it happens it'll probably come out of the blue.

Borders no.2

Kerry won't get as far as playing the likes of Kilkenny. Unlikely they'll meet Galway, Wexford or Dublin. The games against Carlow and Westmeath are good games at their level and a shot at Offaly. If they do happen to finish 2nd in the group, they'd be relatively competitive against Laois I'd imagine.

Someone (I think Zombie Hanley) was saying that if Kerry come through the quaifier they would go into Munster and not into Leinster.

I don't buy the argument that they should be kept out of Muster because they are not good enough, they played in the Munster championship for enough years no reason they shouldn't go back their.

Also as I keep saying utterly ridiculous given the amount of teams in Leinster that Kilkenny go straight into a semi final. Give the people wha they want, i.e the best teams playing more games.
