Should the All-Ireland hurling final be moved to the last Sunday in August?

AS currently constituted, the All-Ireland senior hurling season is surely the most logically ill-contrived and the most knowingly ill-conceived of all major national sports.

Certainly I don’t know of any sport that follows the GAA hurling model, and some model it is.

It starts in January, from closed season straight into competitive action with the Walsh Cup and the Waterford Crystal senior hurling tournament, is then followed by the Allianz Hurling League which isn’t strictly a league but a league/championship, with a final play-off in late April and early May.
