Galway review group pushing for open draw for All-Ireland

A REVIEW group in Galway under the chairmanship of former GAA President Joe McDonagh is urging the Tribesmen to lead the drive for an open draw system to be introduced for the All-Ireland senior hurling championship.

The radical proposal is one of several dozen recommendations contained in a report produced after a root and branch examination of hurling in Galway.

One of the recommendations is that Galway “should develop and solicit support from other counties for an open draw All-Ireland series at inter-county senior championship level”.
