Jacob backs league challenge

Wexford hurler Rory Jacob has backed his county board’s threat to legally challenge the new league proposals should they be passed by Central Council tomorrow.

The veteran forward says Wexford are right to do everything in their power to stop becoming victims of another league rearrangement. At a special board meeting on Wednesday night, it was agreed Wexford will oppose the new format should it be successful “with all means at our disposal and will exhaust all the GAA’s appeal mechanisms and resort to legal remedies should it be required”.

They claim the proposal being put forward tomorrow is out of order as they hadn’t previously been discussed by Central Council.
