O’Gorman: don’t touch ‘sacrosanct’ Munster championship

HANDS off the Munster Hurling Championship: that was the message provincial chairman Jimmy O’Gorman sent out loud and clear from his home town yesterday at the launch of the Munster Championships in Lismore Castle.

“From time to time we hear talk about bringing in the open draw. I say to those people: keep your hands away from our Championship.

“It should never be seen as a solution to perceived ills of the All-Ireland Championship,’’ he said.
