Brian Hickey hits out at treatment of Munster Senior Challenge Cup

Cork Constitution coach Brian Hickey has criticised the decision to postpone four Munster Senior Challenge Cup first round games.

Hickey fears the move is another blow for one of Ireland’s great club competitions which has slipped down “the pecking order” over the last decade.

Constitution open their title defence against Highfield at Woodview Park (2.30pm) this afternoon, and it’s one of just two surviving ties, the other between old Limerick rivals Shannon and Garryowen at Coonagh (2pm).
