New Kerry hurling manager Stephen Molumphy has said it would be “fantastic” to see the county playing in the Munster senior hurling championship.

Although not confirmed, it is expected that Kerry’s route from the second-tier Joe McDonagh Cup to hurling’s top table will, in 2022, revert to how it looked pre-pandemic where the county, should it win the Joe McDonagh, will be subject to a promotion/relegation play-off against the bottom-placed team from the Munster SHC round-robin.
