Stars impressed with northern hurling fever
Given that Down are an emerging side, battling the odds even within their own football-dominated county, O’Sullivan believes every team in their division should have agreed to travel north.
“The amount of enthusiasm for hurling up there is fantastic. They are just hurling fanatics who would talk about hurling until the cows come home. The Central Council are pumping money into these counties, but obviously it’s not going into hurling, it’s all going straight into football. I think that really disappoints these lads. They’re willing to do whatever it takes to develop the game, but they’re not getting the support while football gets loads.”
