Munster SHC Final Replay

Television, I suppose, is dictating matters now. I can understand the logic to a degree, but still it is a pity – the Munster senior hurling final is one of the showpieces of the GAA and should be treated as such, even for a replay.

Last week’s draw was very entertaining, especially the second half, but that’s not to say it was top-class hurling – it wasn’t, not all of it.
