Bergin highlights risk of early exit in Connacht

GALWAY’S Joe Bergin has urged the GAA to shut off the loophole that could see a Connacht county left without a second chance in the Championship.

The Tribesmen required a late scoring burst to defeat New York in their recent Championship clash and would have been sensationally finished for the summer if they’d lost.

That’s because there’s no provision for a second chance in games involving New York as the Exiles are normally easily defeated.
