Innovative plan to play Railway Cup finals on world stage

IN a last-ditch attempt to get the ailing Railway Cup hurling and football competitions back on track, former Munster Council chairman and current trustee of the GAA, Noel Walsh of Clare, has revolutionary proposals to put to the next meeting of Central Council tomorrow week.

Mr Walsh, a passionate advocate of the inter-provincial series, is proposing the hurling final be played on the Continent with the football to be staged in New York.

If Mr Walsh’s proposals are accepted, the next hurling final will be played in Brussels, with Rome, Paris and Madrid earmarked for subsequent finals.
