Revamp of Munster SFC draw to be voted through

A new variation of the Munster senior football championship’s current seeded draw is expected to be voted through this evening.

The province’s competitions control committee (CCC) will meet in Limerick to discuss the 2015 format where it is likely they will vote in a change to this year’s structure, which saw Cork and Kerry seeded in separate semi-finals.

Last year’s decision by the CCC angered Clare, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford and all players from the four not only boycotted the pre-season McGrath Cup but the Railway Cup as well. Some team officials from the counties also avoided the launch of the championship in May. There were suggestions players from the developing counties would also boycott next year’s competition were the status quo to remain.
