Cork GAA executive considers pause on regrading 18 teams to junior level

“Ahead of Tuesday’s meeting, we are inviting correspondence from any club that wishes to send in their views on the matter and obviously from any division or other unit that wishes to send in correspondence.”

Kevin O’Donovan: The Cork CEO recognises the concerns of intermediate clubs.

The Cork GAA executive will on Tuesday decide whether to recommend pausing the planned regrading of 18 intermediate teams to junior level at the end of this year.

As per the new county championship format agreed by clubs ahead of the 2020 season, 13 hurling teams (two from Intermediate A and 11 from Lower Intermediate) and five Intermediate A football teams are to be relegated to the junior ranks later this year.
