Putting square pegs in round holes
They weren’t thinking of the Galway supporters anyway, that’s for sure. I know Galway is in Connacht, I know this is still the Leinster championship, I know Galway asked for inclusion in that championship, but was that a fair choice of venue, or of time?
Whatever Galway supporters travelled to Kilkenny didn’t get home ‘til all hours – that’s not right. I’m just not in favour of evening championship games anyway, especially where there’s a lot of travel involved for any of the teams involved, but surely this could have been brought to Portlaoise, about halfway, or why not just toss for venue, and really maximise the crowd? Anyway, Galway got the raw deal on this occasion, but still they managed to get the right result.
