'Disgusting' media reaction to Connacht championship draw, says provincial chief 

John Prenty says Sligo, Leitrim, London, and New York, who are on one side of the draw, were cast as “lesser beings”.

Connacht GAA secretary John Prenty has hit out at the “disgusting” media commentary that followed the 2023 Connacht SFC draw.

The scenario described as “intriguing” by Prenty in his annual report is seen as lopsided by many; on one side of the Connacht draw sits the Division 4 trio of Sligo, Leitrim, and London, along with New York, while lumped together on the other side is Galway, Mayo, and Roscommon.
