Wexford report proposes new ban on young dual players

A report on the decline of minor hurling in Wexford has recommended that no player be allowed represent the county at both codes beyond the age of 15.

The report, published yesterday, looks at the barriers to consistent performance at minor level and has proposed a radical shift in the county’s dual player policy.

The minor working group, put in place by board chairman Diarmuid Deveraux following Wexford’s defeat to Westmeath in the Leinster MHC back in early May, is proposing that there should be no dual players on the Wexford U16, U17 and minor hurling squads.
