Ulster GAA Statement on Hurling Proposals

At its November Coisti Bainistí meeting, Ulster GAA unanimously supported the call by our two counties, Fermanagh and Cavan, for the proposals on weaker hurling counties to be rejected.

Ulster GAA wishes to commend both counties for working diligently with their small base of hurling volunteers to develop sustainable hurling structures and the important steps taken to grow the game with their respective units.

We acknowledge that this conversation originated to bring to the fore an acceptance for the need to grow the game and ensure its long-term sustainably in weaker counties. Accordingly, the Ulster Hurling Development Committee will take the opportunity to further discussions on hurling resources within the province, to support and to help our counties realise their ambitions.
