The problem is the hurling man meself type thinks getting the shot beaten out of you improves your hurling, it’s the mentality that says if only the likes of Carlow or Laois were given extra ‘reources’ they would be possible all Ireland champions - they failI think its an ego trip myself
They got beaten in the B quarter final last year
Now they got a hammering from Thurles and have to play flannans who Thurles hit a goal and a point in injury time to draw with.
Surely playing B and trying to win it would be better for them
To understand , hurling is hard to master, you need a large cohort of clubs to sustain a team or county or at least clubs with a real tradition of producing lots of top quality hurlers, this year is of zero use to Tralee, they’ll get hosed many of the players won’t be there next year anyway but a few egos satisfied down there to say we coaches at harty level
