Tipperary divided on hurling’s blueprint for change

Tipperary County Board secretary Tim Floyd has expressed concern that the new hurling proposals will significantly curtail club activity in April and May.

With the Munster and Leinster championships to be run off across the concluding three weekends in May and the opening fortnight of June, added to a mid-April finish for the league, the start date for certain club championships could be pushed back until well into the summer.

Tipperary began their senior hurling championship in April but Floyd is not sure that would be possible if change is brought about to the inter-county scene.
