Ó Sé hoping Munster championship will revert to open draw

Marc Ó Sé hopes the Munster football championship returns to an open structure next year.

Kerry and Cork were handed byes to separate semi-finals this year after a decision by the Munster Council’s competitions control committee last September.

The footballers of Clare, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford boycotted the McGrath Cup as well as representation on the Railway Cup team, which disappointed Ó Sé, who played in a team comprising just Kerry and Cork footballers. He agreed both Clare and Tipperary, in pushing the finalists so close in this past weekend’s games, were motivated by the perceived unfairness of the seeded draw.
