To strip this power from a club is nothing short of an insult

WE’RE aware of the arguments from the other side before we even hear them outlined.

Setting the county champion’s nomination aside allows the manager to pick the best player as captain. If the county champs don’t have a first-choice player then there are no selection headaches coming down the track. It’s all outdated, anyway. Part of the past.

Well, we’re in favour of it. Not just because the county champs are entitled, but because of the glaring logical flaw in the counter-argument.
