Seán Kelly: Time to spread the love and move Liam MacCarthy around

Surely the onus is on us to have as many teams competing at the top as possible?

If the Munster Hurling Championship delivers like it has in the past few seasons, we’re in for some tremendous excitement and entertainment. Hurling is the gift that keeps on giving!

But the chances of any more than half a dozen counties winning the Liam McCarthy is a long shot and seems an even longer shot into the future. Do we sit back and say “C’est la vie”, or do we look for solutions, so that more and more counties can realistically see Liam in their sights as well as in their dreams?
