Simon Moroney admits fears for hurling after Congress vote

Munster secretary Simon Moroney has echoed concerns that hurling will lose out its share of “the marketplace” as a result of new championship changes announced last weekend.

However, he accepts the “substantial majority” of Congress delegates backed the changes.

While Moroney said that there is a strong chance the Munster senior football and hurling finals will be pushed into June from next year, he doesn’t foresee the hurling semi-finals being played on the same day or over the same weekend.
