The likes of Claughaun, Old Christians and St Patrick's wouldn't make a senior club team between them at the moment. There's been numerous task forces but they weren't up to much. A New hurling club with heavy backing would be a great idea..like a revival of Young Irelanders maybe

But rather than simply scrapping it, why not put the effort into getting more teams to compete, chage the eligibilty rules etc. I would always be of the opinion that the more intercounty matches the better, I remember this competition back in the late eighties, early nineties and there were some cracking games, Tipp and KK used to meet fairly regularly in the final and there were some great games.

Does anyone care ?? Honestly? Its going the way of the dodo. Which is a shame. What I'd do would be to allow the Intermediate sides compete in the Christy Ring Cup and make that the Intermediate All-Ireland. Promotion/relegation would not be considered for "B" teams, but would still be allowed for "A" teams. For example, if Kilkenny won the Intermediate hurling championship, they would not be promoted nor would the bottom side of the McDonagh Cup be relegated. But if Kildare were to win it, promotion/relegation rules would come into play.
