O’Keeffe fears new proposals could end club interest by June

Waterford secretary Timmy O’Keeffe fears teams could be eliminated from county championships by June if national proposals to condense club competitions into a calendar year are successful.

O’Keeffe is concerned about the knock-on effects to the county championships if the All-Ireland Club finals are fixed for December.

“If the proposal to play the All-Ireland club championship finals in December goes through, the Munster club championship will have to commence in late September,” O’Keeffe will say in his address to convention in Dungarvan tonight.
