Brennan has suggested radical changes to the Hurling Championship

Honestly not sure when or why they pulled out but I know by 1984/85 they had pulled out. Some of my older clubmates used to regale me with stories of how they " outhurled" George O Connor as a minor,lol. Story to be taken with a very large pinch of salt. Players like Desiie, Brian+Hippy Donnelly as well as our current county managers sambo and woody all played in that era which would have been 1976.77 sort of time scale. Think it was tried for 3/4 years.

Down minors also played in the Leinster Championship at that time. On one occasion Antrim and Down both reached the semi finals with Antrim winning and going on to lose to Kilkenny in the final.
