Format change 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.
