Justin: Cork clash nonsensical

WATERFORD boss Justin McCarthy has criticised proposed plans for a play-off against Cork to decide their placing in the Allianz NHL quarter-finals.

The sides finished level on points but Croke Park bosses may not use scoring averages as per regulations after Cork’s failure to contest the first two games of the league. A decision will be taken by the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) in Croke Park this morning.

But as McCarthy pointed out both sides have qualified for the last eight, with a proposed tie simply deciding who plays either Kilkenny or Galway.
