League row set for Council

THE eight hurling counties who oppose the new Allianz League structure will formulate a motion to Central Council in an attempt to overturn the group’s decision made last month.

All eight were represented at Tuesday’s meeting in Croke Park with GAA President Christy Cooney, Director General Páraic Duffy and President-Elect Liam O’Neill, who chaired the work group that devised the structure.

There the counties were informed they would have to draft a motion to put to Central Council on Friday, September 30, which will require a two-third majority support if it is to be passed.
