Waterford backs proposal for 16-week window for clubs

County supports Modeligo call for extended exclusive period for county championships

Waterford estimate they will have approximately 13 weeks to run off their championships in time for the start of the Munster competitions in the latter part of October, which secretary Pat Flynn has said won’t be enough.

Concern that the split season as it stands doesn’t allow a sufficient club championship window for dual counties has prompted a motion from Waterford at Congress this Saturday.

Modeligo have proposed an exclusive period of 16 weeks be provided to counties to complete their championship programme in which no inter-county club or county championship games can be scheduled.
