Players seek Munster seeding reversal

The county boards of Clare, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford are to be asked to seek an emergency meeting of the Munster Council with a view to reversing the decision to re-introduce seeding in the province’s senior football championship.

Following last week’s Munster Council meeting to keep Cork and Kerry on separate sides of next month’s draw, representatives from the other four counties met in Tipperary town last night, with the mood overwhelmingly in favour of seeking a reversal.

“The general view from the players’ reps at the meeting was that we were unhappy with the decision,” said Stephen Kelly of Limerick.
