Cork board delays decision on junior championship

While the proposed changes to the county junior hurling championship were the source of much debate at last night’s Cork County Board meeting, a decision was put back until the next gathering.

At the Nemo Rangers complex, the first meeting of the year was well attended and the proposal by the board’s Competitions Control Committee to alter the junior hurling, and junior and U21 football competitions, dominated.

County chairman Ger Lane said that, after the suggestion of a premier junior hurling championship was rebuffed last year, two divisions had suggested allowing divisional champions and runners-up to progress and this was worthy of discussion.
