The Cork County Board executive has shelved plans to regrade 18 club teams from intermediate to junior later this year, while also postponing plans to reduce the number of teams in the Intermediate A Football Championship from 16 to 12.

At the end of this year, 13 hurling teams (11 from Lower Intermediate and two from Intermediate A) and five Intermediate A football teams were to be relegated to the junior ranks, but this mass regrading will not now take place “due to the effects of the Covid-19 related restrictions”, a county board statement this Monday afternoon said.
