Meath have failed in their bid to prevent players who line out for a divisional team in a senior championship from representing their clubs in the junior or intermediate provincial and All-Ireland series.

The proposal, considered to be aimed at Kerry clubs’ All-Ireland success in the lower grades, was one of 13 motions applicable to the codes section of the GAA rulebook voted on at Central Council in Croke Park earlier today. However, it received less than 20% support from delegates.
