Sligo manager Tony McEntee has criticised the 11th hour proposal to flip the Tailteann Cup semi-finals from next Sunday to Saturday to accommodate the All-Ireland senior hurling quarter-finals.

McEntee, whose Sligo team are due to face Down in a semi-final in Croke Park next weekend, believes the convening of a special Central Council meeting Sunday to vote on the rescheduling shows disrespect to the Tailteann Cup.
