Hurling league proposal welcomed

TWO of the counties protesting against the new hurling league structure have given tentative support to the anticipated compromise proposed by the GAA’s Management Committee.

An extraordinary Central Council meeting will take place Tuesday where eight counties will put forward a motion calling for the six-team divisional system to be changed to eight counties per division.

However, their proposal will require two-thirds majority backing, which will be extremely difficult considering the Division 1A and 1B structure voted in last month was carried by 28 votes to 16.
