Cloonan: If Leinster won’t play ball, Galway will try Munster

Galway hurling PRO Jarlath Cloonan has raised the possibility of the county negotiating a return to the Munster senior hurling championship if the Leinster Council continue to refuse them home games and entry to their underage competitions.

Seven years on from joining the Leinster SHC, former senior manager Cloonan is fuming the province’s counties continue to resist Galway’s proposals for home and away arrangements and their participation in the U18 and U21 championships.

Galway competed in Munster between 1959 and ’69 and Cloonan said they would be amenable to rejoining providing they receive the conditions they are currently seeking from Leinster.
