Galway Bay Fm Sport understands that Galway GAA are going to request that the Galway U-17 Hurling team be accommodated in a provincial championship for next year 2023, preferably in Leinster.
This is a major move by Galway as there has been a desire for ages that Galway would be on a level playing field with every other County involved in the competition in terms of games and starting the championship at the same time and in the same structure as every other participating team.
Last year Galway played three games at Minor while many other counties benefitted from playing up to 8 games.
Galway feel that this format hinders the development path of our players.
The request to be included in a Provincial Championship for 2023 is bound to initiate much discussion
