Davy Fitzgerald has claimed the Allianz Hurling League has been devalued by the decision to double up the Clare-Limerick Munster first round game as the final.

Clare and Limerick, who finished top of their Division 1 groups earlier this year, clash in Thurles on October 25 to face Tipperary a week later. The GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee has decided there will also be league silverware on offer that day.
