Lynskey hoping for revamp of All-Ireland format

Galway minor hurling manager Jeffrey Lynskey is hoping the GAA will agree to a reformatting of the All-Ireland championship at that level.

After Leinster rejected the county’s request to join their minor and U21 championship last October, Lynskey believes a group comprising Galway, Antrim and the preliminary losers from Leinster and Munster might be a more palatable option.

“Antrim were fairly close to Dublin a few weeks ago but they didn’t get a second chance, sure how are you going to develop hurling in Antrim unless you get games? Munster and Leinster in particular seem to have a big piece of the cake whereas in Galway and Antrim we haven’t got it.
