NHL 2013

[Plain of the Herbs]

Carlow gain a reprieve from relegation (just like Cork) and Westmeath are promoted (similar to Limerick) so they'll be happy enough. 

Good to see Wexford and Offaly raising their voices against it, but where are the rest? Do Laois, Antrim, Carlow not give a f**k, in fact this also has had a detrimental knock on for Down who have been as good as relegated as well, put in a weaker division than they were, but not a word...

Also at the meeting, St Mary's delegate John Corcoran lamented the fact Cork, having attracted over 320,000 people to championship games this summer, would only have one marquee home game — the opener against Limerick — in the 2014 league following the decision to stay with six teams in Divisions 1A and 1B.

Corcoran declared the alternative options for running the league were "infinitely better" than what will be in place and said that it was almost certain Cork, Limerick, Wexford and Offaly would be in the 2014 quarter-finals.

The St Mary's delegate also hit out at Carlow captain Edward Coady, who had said Central Council was right not to allow Cork "dictate the structure of the league".

Corcoran said: "For somebody from Carlow to be lecturing Cork on hurling is akin to Jedward telling Pavarotti how to sing."

Mark Mullins being the obvious exception unless the said Mr Corcoran forgets. Arrogant p***k.

Reminds me of what Mickey Ned O'Sullivan said to Davey Power on the sideline during the Munster Minor Final two years ago. "What the f**k would someone from Tipp know about football?" I'd say the game ending handshake for Davey was all the sweeter that day.

This whole process has really highlighted the contempt 'hurling' counties hold for every hurler outside their boarders. Insularity in the extreme.

Yes, in such circumstances, the cry of "for the good of hurling" usually means for the "for the good of hurling in our county".
