Duffy a fan of Team Ulster proposal

GAA Director General Páraic Duffy believes a Team Ulster competing in the All-Ireland championship would be “brilliant” for hurling.

Speaking exclusively to the Irish Examiner, Duffy questioned the purpose of competitions like the Munster and All-Ireland intermediate championships and even the Christy Ring, Nicky Rackard and Lory Meagher Cups because, in his view, they’re failing to adequately promote or develop the game.

But something he thinks would positively transform hurling is the idea of a Team Ulster as floated by Donal Óg Cusack on The Sunday Game last month.
