Kettle: Munster right for Galway

Dublin chairman Andy Kettle believes Galway wish to enter their minor and U21s hurlers into the Leinster championships because they regard it as the easier province.

Kettle understands why Galway regard the decision by Leinster counties not to permit them into the minor and U21 championships as selfish. However, he feels Galway should return to the Munster championship while Antrim play in the Leinster competitions.

Asked if the decision to allow Galway into all Leinster’s U21 and minor grades should be taken out of the provincial council’s hands, Kettle responded: “It doesn’t necessarily need to be taken out of Leinster’s hands but it doesn’t necessarily mean that the decision imposed would be that the teams come into Leinster. You would then have one side of the competition overloaded against the other side.
