I couldn`t think of anyone else in the club who has played them all nor did anyone else from other clubs jumpp out at me in Kilkenny at least anyway.
Do I at last have a presigious element to record to my failed attempts at glory or is playing at all grades as common as muck these days as lads jump from grade to grade in the one season - note also though our club has only ever fielded two teams at a time.

Jaysus, Junior B is dog rough here in North Cork. The mind boggles as to what Junior F would be like. Gladiator without the skill.......

In Dublin, there 12 teams per championship .... the bottom 6   (for example  )   of intermediate championship wouldn`t be that much better than the top 6 in Junior A  (3/4/5 points  )   ... however there is a definite gap between Junior A and Junior B.
Junior D in Dublin is suprisingly clean except for a couple of clubs where Ned the thrasher would be proud of, but you know what you`re getting yourself into.

Dare I say it ... if and it`s a big if, I could be making a return this year at Junior E/F ... fast golf basically.

It is far from dog rough in dublin with the exception of the 2nd teams of one or two senior clubs who are clubs that are well known for disciplinary misdemanours and being dirty at all levels. "The Referee"





Would these be St Marks and Cabra by any chance he he.
I have played loads of grades from Junior C or D to Senior in Dublin. Not sure but in a couple of junior C or D games it was dog rough where I got my wrist and Jaw broken by wild swings in seperate games.

I d say that your achievement may not be that unique.

I have played senior   ( 2 challenge games  )  , intermediate and junior A in a Christy Ring Cup county. my club had 3 teams so i lined with all at various stages. intermediate and junior was my level though.

In Dublin, my club has one team but at times have fielded a 2nd team. started out at junior b level with that club but won our way up to the junior A league and then the intermediate league. back down to junior A league now and never got higher than the junior A championship.

at one stage we entered a 2nd team at junior D level and i made an ocassional appearance for them. so i hurled at intermediate, junior A, junior b and junior D in Dublin.

wouldnt have been referring to marks - only played them once and they were grand. never heard any tales of them being nasty or dirty either.
