Munster Council to consider requests for reversal of seeding

The Munster Council has said that it will consider any requests from counties seeking to reverse the decision to reintroduce seeding for the province’s senior football championship.

Last week’s decision by the provincial council to put Cork and Kerry straight into semi-finals on opposite sides of the draw has met with criticism from the other four counties, and on Tuesday night, nine players from the four counties — Gary Brennan, Gordon Kelly and Joe Hayes (Clare), Stephen Kelly and Seanie Buckley (Limerick), George Hannigan and Brian Fox (Tipperary) and Shane Briggs (Waterford) – met in Tipperary town to formulate a response.

Following the meeting, letters were written to each of the four counties asking them to look for an emergency council meeting, and Munster PRO Ed Donnelly has stated that that any such entreaties will be dealt with.
