Jerry O’Sullivan: Leave hurling qualifier draw alone

Munster chairman Jerry O’Sullivan sees no reason why the first round of the All-Ireland hurling qualifier draw has to change. 

The Leinster Council will on Saturday put forward a motion to Congress that would see an open draw from next season involving the three Munster counties and five teams competing in the Leinster championship that fail to reach their respective provincial finals.

As things stand, the three Munster counties can’t be drawn against one another. Instead, they face off against three of the Leinster SHC sides, the remaining Leinster two drawn against one another.
