Feud puts future of hockey interpros in jeopardy

A LEADING hockey official has warned that the future of the Irish game’s interprovincial series is in jeopardy as the feud between the Irish Hockey Association (IHA) and the Munster branch shows no sign of abating.

Munster have reiterated its refusal to take part in the Interpros at the end of the month in protest at late format changes decided on by the national ruling body without consulting the individual branches.

The alteration, "foisted" upon the branches less than five weeks ago involves asking all three teams to play four games in just two days.
