Munster considers plan for ‘U25 championships’

The Munster Council are considering a proposal from Limerick to introduce a developmental competition next year to replace the intermediate and junior championships.

Provincial secretary Simon Moroney confirmed they are looking at bringing in what Limerick would consider the U25 championships, the games which would act as curtain-raisers to SFC and SHC matches from 2017 on.

“It would be a competition for reserve, development-type squads which have been formed organically in counties in the existing intermediate hurling and junior football championships in Munster,” said Moroney.
