‘Light at end of the tunnel’ - Griffin

ALL-IRELAND winning manager Liam Griffin believes the new championship format has been a tremendous success.

Griffin, who led Wexford to glory in 1996, is adamant the provincial competitions in Munster and Leinster will continue to prosper, as will the game in weaker counties.

“We all want to talk about the great teams, but Offaly, Laois or Dublin will be going down and won’t be in the McCarthy Cup. And that will be very significant,’’ said Griffin.
