Replying To FearCeatharlach:  "Actually disagree here, I get what you are saying and that if you put a team at the highest level they have to improve and get to the level of others. By playing better teams you improve and get better, but in this case I just cant back it. The disparity already between a Btown and MLR is frightening I genuinely think Naomh Brid could lose to rangers by 40 points and thats with no disrespect to them, but its no good to anyone Naomh Brid would simply collapse or get worse as it would turn lads off hurling for NB, in time I think it would be great for them to go up to senior but currently Burren MLR mullins Carlow town is their level at inter and its better to continue at that level at the moment I think. It will bring all of those teams on too if they continue to have competitive games, it was a very competitive championship and the likes of a kildavin who might be a bit weaker are improving hugely. Theres no point Naomh Brid going up when they arent dominant at inter level even. I get the sentiment but another year at inter - see if they can win it again and let others try beat them would be a better scenario"

Replying To carlo:  "The point is Naomh Brid are going up Senior. They won the interimediate & will be playing in the top ranks next year. To say they didn't dominate at interimediate is a bit off. They won most games comfortably & only had one draw in the group stage against Burren Rangers. They then beat them in Semi after a good battle ( Burren not bad). They then won the final by 10 points...if that's not good enough to go up Senior we will have no team going up over next few years. I'm not expecting them to make a semi but just to compete for the first few years & then try & push on. The big problem for them is the 3 football clubs will always come first. The more top teams the better in my opinion"

Replying To Carlowtothecore1:  "8pts, 2-17 to 1-12. Let's keep it real. I was at it. Difference was the 2 early goals against the run of play.
One of the Mlr management team said they had 25 players tied to senior on Sunday so NB beat their panel members no 26-40! Big step Up to compete with their top 20 needed next year"
