Duffy searches for hurling league row compromise

GAA Director General Páraic Duffy has suggested a compromise could be reached on the hurling league row.

The counties — Cork, Dublin, Galway, Kilkenny, Limerick,Tipperary, Waterford and Wexford — are proposing the league revert to an eight-team divisional structure withsemi-finals.
