Loughmore-Castleiney are in Munster action this weekend. Noel McGrath agrees there’s an element of freedom for clubs in the provincial championships.

The GAA should take heed of what the Joe McDonagh Cup counties think about disbanding the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-finals, says Noel McGrath.

The Hurling Development Committee (HDC) will later this month recommend to next year do away with the games pitting the third-placed teams in Leinster and Munster against the Joe McDonagh finalists.
