A proposal to prohibit two teams from the same club playing at the same level will be discussed at Central Council on Saturday.

The recommendation by GAA director general Tom Ryan comes on foot of Ballygunner’s second team claiming the Waterford premier intermediate title in August to join their first side in the senior ranks, which they are obliged to join as per local rule.
