Hurling's 'Super League' leaving the rest behind, says Kerry boss Fintan O'Connor

Kerry hurling manager Fintan O’Connor has criticised the format of this year’s Joe McDonagh Cup, claiming second-tier hurling counties are not being fairly treated.

O’Connor likened the 11-county All-Ireland SHC to the recently proposed European Super League and said counties outside of hurling’s top-tier are being left behind.
