Limerick want March deadline for league finale
There was strong support for the recommended changes to the All-Ireland SHC at a meeting of the Limerick management committee on Tuesday evening, although County Board chairman Oliver Mann did highlight their desire for “certain tweaks” to be made.
Come Sunday evening, the opening three rounds of the Limerick senior hurling, senior football, intermediate hurling and intermediate football championships will have been played off, as well as four rounds of the PIHC, with board members concerned this club activity will be curtailed if the new proposals are passed at Special Congress later this year. Under the blueprint for change, counties will be tied up in provincial action across the concluding three weekends of May and the opening fortnight of June. And with a mid-April finish suggested for the league, the window to run off club championship games is reduced.
