this comment makes no sense whatsoever. Some amalgamations have bare numbers when they join together, I have seen it first hand. The county board will do their best based on results down the years with the same group of players to grade them but it is ultimately down to the clubs themselves. If they want to play at a lower standard and hockey teams they are only fooling themselves who don't care about getting the best players through to play senior. Underage isn't about winning, it is about providing a sustainable future for your club and that is your senior team who are your shop window.

Fairest way would probably to merge division 2 and 3 into smaller regional leagues then split after 3 or 4 games into division 2 and 3 properly, that would filter out the weak from the strong.

Clubs with second teams had to name players that would be unable to play for the B team (I think it was 18 players)

The biggest problem is teams going in the wrong division. There is a team in U16 division 3 that have played 3 games and have a score difference of +108 points.

I see u16 div 3 results and a 2nd's team team scoring 6-17

I wonder would 4 divisions be a help to lower the number of one sided games. It would keep more teams competing at their own level. The divisions were a positive step but need a few tweaks.

Yep. Drastic measures to try a stop adults from destroying kids and kids football. The competition isn't the problem. The problem is those who treat an under 10 blitz like an All Ireland final.
