A special Central Council meeting has been organised for Sunday to discuss the possibility of flipping next weekend’s All-Ireland senior hurling quarter-finals and Tailteann Cup semi-finals.

At both the Leinster and Munster meetings with GAA president Jarlath Burns and the Central Competitions Control Committee, the Saturday lunchtime throw-in for the first SHC quarter-final was cited as doing little for the promotion of hurling.
