My name is not Inside track for nothing so Baile na Criche and LetuceBFrank ye are reading last years rules. These are the new rules for 2009 which were emailed by the County Secretary Cyril Creavin to every club secretary
Lads lads, yiz are both right which is the reason why this will be decided by way of appeal. Congress passed these changes, but the championship rules were published before that became law. I'm not 100% on the dates of when the championship began and when congress changed the rules, so if the championship had started before the new rules were announced, then you could have reason to appeal if they try and apply the new rules, depending on what side of the rule you fall. Either way clubs won't make any moves until all the relevant results are in.
