New York, having won the cup last year, the Laurie Marra, go straight in at the semi-final stage, win their semi-final, then win the final.

You've got lads who used to play for Tipperary, used to play for Limerick, used to play for Westmeath, used to play for Waterford.

Lads who've got good underage pedigree along the way.

that stacks it against teams like Tyrone, doesn't it?

They beat Leitrim, didn't they?

Beat Leitrim.

So this was debated at Congress, and this is largely because a lot of the counties who would have faced off with the Laurie Mara last year had brought motions up and some of the teams that met them in the record this year as well.

And it was kind of a slight kicking down the can, as I recall, was what ended up happening on the floor on the day.

So the argument was that if New York were to get promoted, they would commit to playing group stages for the next three seasons, was the talk.

So obviously then they waited to see how the championship would play out.

So Roscommon are now sitting in the situation where they were relegated from the Christie ring, but not sure just yet if they are actually going to drop down and if New York are going to come up.

But Murph had a good idea earlier when we were kind of chatting about this before we came on, which is that what you could do here potentially is have New York in the Christie ring, get them 100% committed to playing in it.

But give the opportunity for them to play some home games and for some of the teams in the Christie Ring, Murph, to go over and play in New York.

And maybe that might rely on some GPA funding or some GA funding in order for it to happen.

But wouldn't that be a great incentive for some of the teams in the Christie Ring to have a trip abroad next year?

It's one per season, yeah.

I'd imagine so.

They spent nearly two decades outside of Championship Hurling and a large part of that was not being able to come over to Ireland to play and so on.

And I think maybe there's an argument, and again, I think Johnny Glynn is on the board of New York GA at the moment as well.

If they had to be, say, in Ireland for a month, a month plus for the Christie ring next year,
