Series of anomalies leave Antrim motion on back burner

As expected, Antrim’s successful motion to reward the Christy Ring Cup winners with a Leinster SHC quarter-final spot from next year will not see the light of day.

Instead, it will be recommended that from 2017 the second-tier competition champions will be rewarded with a place in the first round of the All-Ireland qualifiers.

A series of anomalies about Antrim’s proposal, backed by over 80% of delegates at Congress in February, indicated it would not come to pass.
