2026 Premier Senior Hurling Championship

[Double90]

There was a college rule at the time where you had to play for the college.
That was repealed in the mid eighties

Thanks, what a terrible rule that was.

Cummins was the one I was aware of but I’m sure there were others too.
Do we know of examples of players playing championship against their own club?

1970 final was UCC v Muskerry, so either it wasn’t the final or it was a different year.
Not that it matters really, what a silly rule it was that any player could play championship against his own club.

No. He played for UCC v Imokilly in 1999

I don’t know, but another poster said the rule was repealed in the mid-eighties which would rule out it applying to Joe.
And I doubt he or any player would choose to play for the college over their own club if it wasn’t a rule that they had to.

Maybe joe got a scholarship i was at that game and a certain cork player IMHO disgraced himself after the game

I don’t think it ever was rescinded either, just not enforced anymore
