Joe Quaid slates Congress transfer motion

Kildare boss Joe Quaid has hit out at the Congress motion which seeks to reduce the number of transfers to weaker hurling counties.

A motion from the Mostrim club in Longford calls for a reduction in the number of players a weaker county can take in from MacCarthy Cup teams from five to three.

Rule 6.10 of the GAA, the Special Eligibility Rule, currently allows for a team competing outside of the of the top tiers, in both league and championship, to take in up to five players from an elite county in any one year.
