Bonnar demands expanded top division

He reasoned: “You have a Division 4 team in football like Limerick and they could compete with the likes of Cork who were in the Division 1 final.

“Whereas in hurling, you have your 10 or 11 counties and that’s where hurling needs to be promoted. Not demoted. I just can’t think what it would be like for the (Wexford) players to lose a final again and for the players to realise that we’re in Division Two again. It would de-motivate not just the players, but the whole county.
