Tipperary manager Peter Creedon is among those who have expressed their disappointment with the decision, which means that Munster football's two powerhouses- Kerry and Cork- will be given semi-final byes.
At an emergency meeting in Munster GAA headquarters in Limerick on Thursday to discuss the 2014 SFC structure, council chairman Robert Frost ruled a motion to revisit the competition controls committee’s (CCC) decision was out of order.
A statement afterwards stated it would be in breach of rule 3.31 (e), “which states alterations may be considered only on an annual basis”. It’s all but certain there will be a proposal to opt for a return to the open draw next year. However, Cork and Kerry will be placed in separate semi-finals in next Thursday’s 2014 draw.
