Antrim have passed a motion calling for February’s Annual Congress to combine the Leinster senior hurling championship and Joe McDonagh Cup in 2025.

The Saffrons want to see the province split into two round-robin groups of five teams, the top two in each group making the Leinster semi-finals and the third and fourth-placed counties contesting the Joe McDonagh Cup semis.
