Gradings (proposed): Hurling Championships

Following consideration of two applications received from clubs wishing to be upgraded to SHC ‘A’ status CCC has decided to recommend the following to the next County Committee meeting;
– That Crumlin be admitted to the SHC ‘A’ championship.
– That Parnell’s be admitted to the SHC ‘B’ championship.
The proposed championship gradings are as below.
In SHC ‘A’ – 15 entries (UCD have withdrawn their entry) be divided into 4 groups (3 groups of 4 and 1 group of 3) each to play a round robin league competition.  The top two teams in the 4 team groups to qualify for the quarter-finals and the bottom team in each 4 team group to play in relegation play-off. The top team in the 3 team group to qualify for quarter-final. The 2nd and 3rd placed teams in the 3 team group to play-off – with winning team to qualify for quarter-final and losing team to play in relegation play-off.
Draw for quarter-final – 1st placed teams v. 2nd placed teams but teams coming from the same group cannot meet. Draw for semi-final – open draw.
Relegation – Open draw – with two losing teams relegated.
All other Hurling championships to be run on a league championship basis as in recent years. Promotion/Relegation to be two up/two down.
