Madam, - As a supporter of Wexford hurling living in Dublin, I must admit that I don't share the widely held view of many hurling correspondents that the solution to the demise of the Leinster Hurling Championship, where Kilkenny have won nine out of the last 10 senior titles, is to invite participation from Galway and Antrim. Surely a more straightforward solution is for Kilkenny to play in the Munster championship.
This would result in a far more competitive championship in Leinster - with at least three teams (Dublin, Offaly and Wexford) vying for success and advancement in the All-Ireland series.
In addition, the great Munster teams would have more and early opportunities to test their mettle against their nemesis. And finally in 10 years' time, when Kilkenny have won nine or 10 Munster Cups, the matter could be reviewed for the sake of Munster hurling! - Yours, etc,
