Delaney calls for hurling revamp

THE Leinster senior hurling championship should be confined to just four counties — Dublin, Kilkenny, Offaly and Wexford, with the possible addition of Galway.

This is the radical suggestion council secretary Michael Delaney has put forward as a possible solution to addressing some of the discrepancies in standards in the province.

In his report to convention in Carlow next week, he also talks about the bruising experience of being a member of the Strategic Review Committee. He also warns that not enough attention is being paid to the state of the GAA in Dublin.
