The former Offaly Hurler and current Chairman of the county board Michael Duignan was writing in his column with Extra.ie and hit out at the organisation for not giving hurling centre stage this weekend .. See what he had to say below ..
Maybe over the season, it’s fair to say the four best teams are in the semi-finals,” he wrote.
“Still, it’s unbelievable really that the hurling quarters didn’t take centre-stage this weekend.
“Now, I felt six days out there was no way you could change it, but they should have been given precedence.
“There are too many meaningless matches in the All-Ireland football series that are taking up too much time in the schedule. A rethink is needed for next year.”
To quote the famous Cork goalkeeper, ‘hurling needs oxygen’ it certainly does, the GAA need to wake up and give hurling all the help it needs.
