Replying To Pope_Benedict:  "Great call, Lynchie. Clare who lost to Dublin, who then lost to Antrim, who lost to Cork, who lost to KK, who lost to Tipp. Were Dublin and Clare a bit off the Liam McCarthy pace in 2010, I wonder?"
We had a good team that year and had taken Offaly to ET in Leinster. After beating Clare, Dublin had an eye on the QF against Cork/Galway & totally underestimated us.

Some achievement by Galway doing a clean sweep in Leinster this year - winning the Leinster Senior, u20 and Minor Hurling Championships.

Time to move them to the Munster Hurling Championships now I think, and give the Leinster counties a chance…. ;o) lol

Or you could join us in a Connacht Championship and give Wexford a chance

I dont think alot of Galway and Munster folk realise what a boost winning a Leinster title gives hurling in counties like ours Fionn.
Especially at grassroots level, and when top young players are deciding between Hurling, Football, soccer and rugby.

Galway should move to Munster. Of the 8 sides already eliminated from the Tailteann Cup, a staggering 4 are Munster sides, so clearly an infusion of quality is required for that particular 'championship'. As regards MHC, Waterford should be plotting a way out, rather than Galway plotting a way in. Otherwise, they'll be changing manager regularly for the foreseeable future.

100% and the same for Dublin.

The fact that Galway made a clean sweep of Leinster hurling titles this year is not good for Leinster counties, it could be argued.

I personally don't see an issue with Galway being added to the Munster SHC.
They have conquered Leinster.
Time to move them on to the next level now.
At least we would have 2 competitive hurling provinces.
