New league format just doesn’t make any sense

FOR the second year in a row we end up with a situation where the last round of the league is more or less meaningless, everything decided bar who is to be relegated.

Cork and Galway meet in Pearse Stadium tomorrow — for what? They’ve both qualified for the NHL final, so why play this game?

It’s costing the Cork board to bring a team to Galway, it’s a cost on their Galway equivalents to host the game — I doubt they’re going to see any profit on this one, because who’s going to go, with nothing at stake?
