Club Championships

It was almost amusing to see that Carlow just finished their county football championship last Sunday which makes you wonder: if a county that plays just two intercounty games a year (the second one being in June at the latest) can't run off its club championship before the middle of September what chance have the rest of the counties? It's always possible Carlow didn't want to finish their club championship early to allow their teams to train up the Leinster championship but the record of Carlow club football teams hasn't set the world alight in recent years. Again Clare were knocked out of both intercounty championships before August and only finished their club fixtures in the last two weeks. The idea of finishing the All Ireland club championships in a calender year will remain a pipedream while we continue to operate club championships on a league basis with lots of games of little consequence.
