Counties face choice on structures

COUNTIES will face a stark choice at the next Congress in Killarney on the future of championship structures.

The message was brought home to delegates at the weekend meeting of the Central Council when the terms of a Cork motion passed at last April's Congress were outlined. The net effect is that no further experimentation can be allowed under rule.

In correspondence with the management committee, Cork made the case that only two options were available. The counties could either say yes to the current structures or go back to the old system.
