Modern hurling isn’t all doom and gloom, declares Conor McGrath

Speaking in the defence of modern hurling is Conor McGrath.

When Ken McGrath tweeted after the drawn Division 1 final he was glad he played hurling when he did, it struck a chord with followers of the game flummoxed with the sweeper system.

His attitude and those of others changed after the replay but the disdain for current tactics hasn’t gone away, and the yearn for the return of the Cork-Waterford classics of the 2000s grows. Nostalgia, though, is of little concern to McGrath.
