Eoin Murphy: Return to white sliotar - and don't make it heavier

Glenmore man Murphy is all for the standardisation of the sliotar and would like to see the rims reduced for safety reasons as well as the regulation colour at senior inter-county level return from yellow to white.

Kilkenny goalkeeper Eoin Murphy hopes Limerick’s high-scoring feats aren’t used as a reason to change the weight of the sliotar.

Murphy has been asked for his input by fellow county man and former Cats chairman and secretary Ned Quinn, who currently heads up the sliotar advisory group.
