GAA lacks the will to expand hurling, says Griffin

THE GAA lacks the leadership and the will to expand hurling, according to Liam Griffin.

Suggesting that it’s being ‘marginalised,’ and that officials in some football counties show no interest in the promotion of hurling, the former Wexford manager believes that hurling’s future is ‘not safe.’

Speaking at the first annual Silversprings Moran Hotel (Cork) GAA Personality award function, Griffin said: “Hurling as a game is a second-rate game in its own Association, not to mind in its own country. Hurling is the most unique game of them all, but, it’s little use even repeating this among ourselves if it’s not going to get a ‘special position.’
