Mulvihill: getting fixtures balance ‘is the trick’

THE GAA is far from reaching ‘finality’ in terms of structuring the senior hurling championship to satisfy the needs of the participants and meet the demands of clubs according to Director General Liam Mulvihill.

Getting the balance right ‘is the trick,’ said Mulvihill and the 55/19 vote in favour of the system put before Saturday’s Special Congress in Croke Park represented ‘another step along the way!’

Said Mulvihill: “I’m afraid there is a bit to go yet, but maybe not as far as one might think. There are certain things that have happened along the way and I don’t think anyone wants to go back from the present qualifier system.
