Down
seek Walsh Cup entry - 08/01/02
Down have confirmed that they are to seek
permission to enter the Walsh Cup, Leinster's second hurling
championship.
The idea of the Ulster county playing in
the competition was first suggested a couple of months ago
but this is the first time that the county will make an
official application. The Leinster Council and the Leinster
Hurling Development Committee have commented they think
the exercise a good idea, but there may be some problems
in allowing Down in this year since the draw has already
been made. Kilkenny are the only team with a bye in the
first round, and they may be abroad for that round.
"We'll try to accommodate (Down) if we
can, but it might be logistically difficult. Maybe Meath
or Dublin will play a preliminary game," said Leinster secretary
Michael Delaney.
