Council delegates condemn hurling league criticism

Central Council delegates have voiced anger at suggestions they are out of touch with their county boards in regard to the structure of the National Hurling League.

At Saturday’s meeting in Croke Park, officials including Waterford’s Paddy Joe Ryan expressed displeasure at claims they are not properly representing their counties.

Speaking to the Irish Examiner last week, Offaly secretary Tommy Byrne said county chairmen and secretaries should attend Central Council meetings as they are more in touch with the concerns of their counties.
