League in need of a shake-up, claims Canning

It wasn’t one of the Hurling 2020 committee’s 15 proposals but the body are fully behind a shake-up of the league, says member Ollie Canning.

Having canvassed widespread opinion, the group would prefer to see the Central Competitions Controls Committee revert to an eight-team Division 1 or either two groups of seven in the top two divisions.

“You don’t like to keep changing things too much but I feel myself that it has been up and down for the last few years and the seven versus seven would bring a couple of teams back into that bracket.
