'We’re synonymous with success at minor level in Galway to our detriment...'
NO TEAM HAS enjoyed more recent success in the All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship than Galway, with the Tribesmen winning 13 of the last 31 titles.
While the current system has been good to the westerners in terms of silverware, it is failing the county’s developmental efforts, according to Galway GAA chairman Paul Bellew. Ultimately, more games at the level are of greater interest to the county. The 13 All-Ireland minor titles since 1992 have translated into just one Liam MacCarthy Cup success in that time-frame.“But in terms of developing them into U20 and into adult, which we’ve had serious issues with here in Galway, and which we are tackling behind the scenes on a number of fronts, we would prefer the access to games.
The motion on the table this weekend will ponder two potential landing spots for the Galway minors, but the county’s preferred destination is the eastern province.
