Waterford won't thank the GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee for ordering that Cork and Waterford must play off for second and third place in their group on March 30.
The teams could not be separated on points difference because Cork had only played three games in the group.
The Decies' boss Justin McCarthy had hoped that his injured players who have already played a game more than Cork would have had the extra week's rest before the quarter finals.
Cork will view it as an opportunity to catch up on games lost to the players' strike earlier in the season.
Wexford lost their appeal and will now be relegated to Division 2. This is a fair decision given that both they and Dublin did play against Cork and the Dubs had a better points difference.
It is a disgrace however, that promotion and relegation issues have had to be decided in committee rather than on the field of play and I hope it's not a sign of things to come.
