Kerry forward Colum Harty has said promotion to hurling’s top-tier would be “massive” for the development of the game in the Kingdom.

A change of rule during the summer means a Kerry victory over Antrim in Sunday’s Joe McDonagh Cup final would see Fintan O’Connor’s charges promoted to next year’s Leinster SHC.
