Fennelly: Don’t fix what isn’t broken

MICHAEL FENNELLY is the latest top inter-county hurler to criticise the new Allianz Hurling League structure.

On the issue of the new six-team Division 1 backed by Central Council for 2012, the Kilkenny midfielder, hotly tipped to be named ‘Hurler of the Year’, said he doesn’t know “who the hell is making these decision or what’s going on in their heads, to be honest”.

Fennelly’s main gripe is the reduced number of games. From next year, teams will be guaranteed just five league games compared to a minimum of seven last year.
