Galway not ‘crying out’ to join Leinster, despite Brennan claim

CLAIMS by GAA President Nickey Brennan that players and managers in Galway are ‘crying out’ to participate in the Leinster SHC have been challenged by Athenry officials.

They feel it is misleading to the county’s position in relation to the proposal for an amended senior hurling championship which goes before next Saturday’s Special Congress at HQ.

Athenry, twice winners of the All-Ireland club championship, also feel that Brennan’s remark about Galway opposition being narrow-minded is not helpful “and is a clear sign that the reasons given by him to support the proposals are not good enough.”
