Guaranteed space in the calendar, not money, can develop hurling in weaker counties, according to Down manager Ronan Sheehan.

As the debate on the development of the game continues ahead of Saturday week’s Central Council vote to remove Cavan, Fermanagh, Leitrim, Longford and Louth from the Allianz Hurling League from 2005, Sheehan believes some of them have been disingenuous in opposing the proposal.
