Mixed views on Leinster hurling plans

THE reaction was mixed and emotional in Leinster yesterday as officials digested the plans of provincial secretary Michael Delaney for hurling in the region.

Delaney this week proposed the disbandment of adult intercounty teams in Laois and Longford to help improve and streamline the code in Leinster.

He also suggested that Carlow, Kildare, Wicklow, Meath, Westmeath and Laois should opt out of all adult championships, senior B, intermediate and junior for the next three years.
