Leitrim see sense in Cavan hurling call

LEITRIM GAA chiefs support Cavan’s decision to pull their senior hurling side out of competition for five years.

Cavan chairman Tom Reilly refused to put the side into the Lory Meagher competition, deciding instead to pump the money saved into the development of underage hurling in the county.

Leitrim secretary Diarmuid Sweeney said they will watch the development with interest and also questioned the worth of continuing a model that wasn’t sustainable. He also revealed many counties only participate because they fear having their funding cut.
