If it's not broke don't fix it

It could only happen in the GAA. The Hurling Development Committee recommends that Galway go into the Leinster Championhsip and a member of their hurling board rejects it accusing the association of trying to breath some life into the Leinster championship, which of course they are.
Leinster has been a bore for years now, the Cats’ camogs are better than some of the sides currently in the shake-up.
Kilkenny manager Brian Cody wants Galway, he wants at least one competitive match a season before he takes on Munster.
Galway don’t play any competitive hurling between the end of the National League and the All-Ireland round robin and while they are obviously convinced it’s good enough for them, I believe the lack of tough games have come against them in the white heat of champioship where they have melted late in several big games.
Antrim on the other hand are desperate to play in Leinster to give a young side a chance to experience some hard championship battles in a province where they're capable of beating any team outside of the Cats.
However, the powers that be are intent on banishing Antrim to the nether world of the Christy Ring Cup.
My view of the Christy Ring Cup is that it’s a nice name for a competition, and that’s about the height of it.
I challenge anyone to name all the winners of the Christy Ring to date, and it ain’t many, and how many years it has been played. Precisely!
Antrim may as well be asked to compete with shinty’s finest across the pond for all playing in the Christy Ring will do to bring on hurling in the North.
The proposal too to cut the League’s first division to eight teams will also make it so much harder for Offaly, Dublin, Antrim and Laois to stay at the races in their bid to compete with the country’s best.
Limerick manager Richie Bennis came out in support of keeping the current format with only one side facing the drop in a season but unlike the Cork hurlers and footballers Antrim and the others don’t count for much at headquarters.
And to compound the nonsense, the Munster Championship is the only competition in the country that ain’t broke but the HDC intend to fix it.
They now want the only truly competitive championship in senior hurling to be run on a round robin basis
It’s a pity that the HDC has had to involve itself in another exercise of mental gymnastics to come up with a way to avoid dealing with the obvious, an open draw in the hurling championship!
