Don’t spoil game as good as this with tactics

You can talk about development squads, you can talk about managers, you can talk about coaches, you can talk about backroom staff, but no one will ever do as much for hurling as the players.

Look back to the games we’ve seen in the last two weekends, Kilkenny and Tipperary in Nowlan Park, Dublin and Galway in the Leinster final, then the two qualifiers in Thurles on Saturday evening. If all we saw from those players doesn’t encourage youngsters to take up hurling, I don’t know what will.

It’s been brilliant, absolutely brilliant showing that hurling is by far the best game of all.
