Phelan urges Croker to help Laois build on 2019 fairytale

Laois vice-captain Joe Phelan has called on Croke Park to make further financialinvestment into hurling in the county and alter the Leinster championship to sustain their competitiveness.

There are fears that a third game in as many weeks could be one too many for Eddie Brennan’s men as they face Munster runners-up Tipperary on Sunday. Equally, they are not expected to retain their recently-claimed place in the Leinster senior hurling championship next year.
