More hurling begets better hurling

Every action has consequences, intended and otherwise, which is why I start today with the hurling championship.

The plethora of games in the Munster and Leinster championships has been a feast for hurling fans — long deprived of regular feeding, now there are almost too many games to take in properly, but nobody is complaining.

Not really, anyway. I see some sniping because not all the games are on free-to-air TV, though that line is not used regarding the People’s Game over the weekend, or the other People’s Game, which recently moved in part to Amazon.
