KERRY'S GAA County Leagues face significant change, with four teams to be relegated from each of the top five divisions next season, if a motion is passed at the November meeting of the county committee. 

The proposal from the Kerry executive plans to reduce the number of teams in each division of the County Football League from 12 to 10 teams from 2026. That will require a stay on the usual 'three up three down' system for one season, with four teams being relegated from Divisions 1 to 5, with just two promoted from Divisions 2 to 6.
