Time is not our friend, says Aylward

Former Ballyhale Shamrocks player and manager Maurice Aylward does not believe the current squad is as strong as the 2007 and 2010 versions which claimed All-Irelands.

Aylward, who managed his native Ballyhale to four county league titles, three county championships, two Leinsters and one All-Ireland, thinks time has weakened the squad.

“I don’t think they’re as strong as the two All-Ireland winning squads, they’ve pushed on a bit since then,” he said.
