John Connolly slams unfair treatment of Galway

Galway great John Connolly has called for better treatment from the Leinster Council.

The Castlegar man wants to see the Tribesmen awarded home games in the senior championship as well as entry into the U21 and minor competitions.

That Galway have yet to stage a Leinster SHC game in Pearse Stadium irks Connolly. “It’s unfair, that’s the worst part of it,” he says. “Galway are making a big contribution to Leinster hurling. The fact we’re not at a level playing field is not fair. We were [disadvantaged] when we were playing that we would go into an All-Ireland semi-final and you would say ‘why didn’t we win when we were playing as much?’
