Sambo' McNaughton: Team Ulster would do more harm than good for hurling

It's almost seven years to the day since Dónal Óg Cusack first floated the Team Ulster idea on The Sunday Game, claiming a combined hurling team from the north could enhance the All-Ireland championship. A contentious idea that has simmered and cooled over the years received fresh traction last weekend when journalist Jerome Quinn released a video containing interviews with numerous high profile Ulster hurling figures supporting the proposal.

Terence 'Sambo' McNaughton, a former All-Star, All-Ireland finalist and manager with Antrim, has held his counsel until now to give a detailed response and to outline exactly why he's vehemently against the proposal.
