Seeding Munster SFC based on league status would be a 'regressive' move, says Clare chairman Keating 

Clare chief Kieran Keating has said putting Cork and Kerry up on a 'pedestal' will do nothing to improve the standard of football in Munster.

Clare GAA chairman Kieran Keating has criticised the proposal to seed the Munster SFC based on league status, labelling the move as “retrograde” and “regressive”.

It emerged last week that at the May meeting of Munster Council top-brass, there was agreement that a recommendation to change how the Munster SFC is seeded would be voted on by the full provincial body in July.
