Managers may appeal new league system

A number of top hurling managers are angered by the new league system voted in for the 2014 season.

Central Council this month backed the proposal to retain the six-team divisional structure but with quarter-finals between the top four teams in both Division 1A and 1B.

However, all but Tipperary of the five Liam MacCarthy Cup teams in Munster favoured a return to the eight-team top flight with semi-finals between the top four placed teams.
