Vice-president crux could hit Munster fixture list

Munster Hockey’s first series of provincial fixtures could go the same way as last Saturday’s national EY Hockey League with a blanket set of postponements looking imminent.

While the EYHL dispute centres around expenses for umpires and a lack of development support, the Munster issue centres on the non-appointment to date of a vice-president for the upcoming season.

It means that scheduled fixtures in women’s Divisions 1 to 4 could all be rendered null and void barring a 12th-hour appointment.
