Duignan applauds Meath boycott

MEATH hurling boss Michael Duignan has applauded the county’s brave stance in boycotting championship fixtures and believes it may even set an historic trend.

A full hurling board meeting took place on Sunday night and delegates showed a united front in voting unanimously not to fulfil the hurling ties.

Duignan and his selectors resigned before their clash with Antrim the previous week because senior football championship fixtures had been pencilled in during the run up to the league tie.
