Meaney blasts Leinster chiefs over ‘daft’ fixture alterations

Carlow GAA officials have accused the Leinster Council of making daft decisions and altering fixtures on the presumption their county minors would be beaten.

The Dolmen County were scheduled to play Dublin last weekend, a match they lost 4-24 to 0-3, in the Leinster MHC but when the initial draw was made they were due to play Laois, if the O’Moore side lost to Kilkenny, and Carlow beat Westmeath.

However, before that Carlow victory, Offaly approached the Leinster Council stating that Dublin would beat Wexford and Westmeath would beat Carlow (therefore meaning Offaly would have to play Wexford again) and the draw was changed.
