A decision to name the Munster Senior Football Championship Cup has been deferred.

Bloody Sunday victim Michael Hogan and Kerry’s Páidí Ó Sé were the two names proposed, but after a lengthy discussion at last night’s Munster Council meeting, it was decided that a vote would not take place on naming the Munster SFC Cup as the Council does not want the naming of cups to become a divisive issue.
