Format change

edit

In 2003 the Cork County Board Executive established a Hurling Championship Review Committee in an effort to improve the competitiveness of the Cork Senior Championship. The committee also proposed the splitting of the existing Cork Intermediate Championship in two with the creation of a 16-team Premier Intermediate Championship and a 16-team Intermediate Hurling Championship. The 10 lowest-ranked teams from the 2003 Intermediate Championship were joined by the 2003 Junior Championship winners as well as the individual divisional winners - Argideen Rangers, Kanturk, Carrigaline, Blackrock and Watergrasshill. Grenagh, who won the Mid Cork Junior Championship division in the junior grade, declined the invitation.
