Carlow lament Wexford league vote

Carlow county board chairman Michael Meaney has revealed his disappointment that Wexford voted against their neighbours on proposed changes to the Allianz Hurling League.

Meaney also laughed off Cork delegate John Corcoran’s controversial comment at a recent Leeside board meeting when he remarked: “For somebody from Carlow to be lecturing Cork on hurling is akin to Jedward telling Pavarotti how to sing.”

A recent Central Council meeting decided to retain the status quo for the 2014 campaign and despite making progress in recent seasons, Carlow will start next year in Division 2A. Carlow and Westmeath were behind a ‘super 14’ proposal but a vote to retain the current format left them outside the top 12.
