Joe Canning: Playing in Munster futile

Galway talisman Joe Canning has admitted he sees no benefit from the county potentially entering the Munster hurling championship.

A motion submitted through the Galway convention proposing all Galway inter-county teams participate together in the same province will be debated at Congress next month.

The Galway seniors have been playing in Leinster since 2009 though their minors and U21s remain isolated in Connacht with no provincial structure. The other big issue is the Tribesmen have yet to play a home game in the Leinster senior championship as eastern counties have refused to enter into a home and away arrangement.
