Cork will fight plans for hurling revamp

Cork remain very much opposed to the suggested changes to the All-Ireland SHC and will seek to prevent changes at the special congress next month.

At last night’s board meeting in Nemo Rangers, board secretary Frank Murphy said that there were some elements of the Central Council plan to streamline the championship which were welcome.

However, he could not support a proposal which carried the possibility of Clare, Cork, Limerick, Tipperary or Waterford being ‘relegated’ from the Munster championship into the qualifier group, should they lose a play-off against Kerry.
