Model boss Dunne points finger at Barry-Murphy

Wexford hurling boss Liam Dunne blames Cork counterpart Jimmy Barry-Murphy for the furore which surrounded the proposed changes to the National Hurling League.

The Central Council opted to maintain the status quo for 2014 and Dunne expressed disappointment that Michael Burns’ 12-team proposal was rejected, claiming the uproar which enveloped the proposed changes could have been avoided were it not for Cork’s alleged interference.

“In fairness to Jimmy Barry-Murphy, he came along a fortnight ago and said he was happy with the agreed league structure [for 2014]. If Jimmy Barry-Murphy had come along two months ago and had said that, there wouldn’t have been all these meetings up in Croke Park about the structures,” Dunne told Wexfordgaa.ie.
