The Munster Council have voted overwhelmingly to postpone the new league seeding system for their senior football championship until 2027.<\/p>\n
At an online meeting on Monday night, the proposal to park their earlier decision in late July to award separate semi-final byes to the top two league finishers was passed, 15 votes to two.<\/p>\n
It means the 2026 Munster SFC draw set to take place on Thursday, November 27 will follow the pre-existing seeding mechanism whereby the previous year\u2019s finalists are drawn in the semi-finals but there is no guarantee that they won\u2019t face each other.<\/p>\n
Following further consultation with counties and players, the executive proposed that the league seeding be delayed. It means Clare and Limerick have an opportunity to earn a semi-final bye providing they are promoted from Division 3 next spring and Cork are relegated from Division 2.<\/p>\n
Champions Kerry and runners-up Clare will be seeded in the last four for the third year in a row while Cork, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford fill the quarter-final slots. Those games are scheduled for April 11, two weeks after the National Football League finals, with the semi-finals down for April 25. The final is fixed for the weekend of May 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Munster Council have voted overwhelmingly to postpone the new league seeding system for their senior football championship…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":175622,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[10417,94059,18,19,17,132],"class_list":{"0":"post-175621","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-gaelic-football","9":"tag-munster-gaa","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115533224031964388","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175621\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
