Galway unlikely to make Leinster move, says Hayes

GALWAY hurling boss Conor Hayes does not envisage the Tribesmen playing in the Leinster SHC in the near future, insisting the lack of a tradition militates against such a move.

However, at a personal level he says he'd have no great qualms about it happening.

More pressingly, the Galway manager points out that preparing in the dark, without knowing their opposition in the opening round of the qualifier competition, places his team at a distinct disadvantage.
