Galway GAA’s motion to have the Minor Hurlers compete in the Leinster Hurling Championship was passed last night following a vote on the opening day of Congress at Croke Park.

In Previous years, Galway had only entered the championship at the Semi-Final, and more recently, the Quarter Final stage of the championship and would have faced teams that already benefited from a provincial championship.

However, the motion brought forward to last night was supported by an incredible 78% of delegates
