TIER TWO ROLL OF HONOUR
(Junior 1960-1983, Intermediate 1984-2023)
By Leo McGough
When Carlow’s Flagship Hurling Championship was first granted Senior status in 1960, a new Junior Championship was introduced and remained aas the county’s tier two competition until 1984 when the addition of a third tier saw the introduction of the Intermediate Championship as the new tier two event, junior now third in status.
However subsequent compilations of Rolls of Honour counted the Intermediate as a stand alone championship and added the third tier Junior from 1984 on to the second tier of 1960 to 1983.
However, a more accurate barometer would be to add the the tier two Intermediate of 1984 to 2023 to the tier two junior of 1960 to 1983 as the winners of both competitions, if not a club’s ‘second string’, qualified for promotion the senior ranks.
So here, for the first time, is the Tier Two Roll of Honour …
