An interesting headline from the Irish Independent (in case you don’t see it on the site, the 5 most recent hurling stories from the Indo are listed at the top of the posts here) where it appears that Tyrone County Secretary Dominic McCaughey has lashed into the county’s hurling team questioning their attitude and commitment and accusing them of treating games as a social occassion. You can read the full account of his criticism from that link there.

It’s certainly damning criticism but you’d think in the weaker hurling counties like Tyrone they’d be doing everything they can to promote the game and encourage the players rather than lambasting them for their attitude. Tyrone done reasonably well last year only losing out to Roscommon in the league semi and Armagh in the Nicky Rackard, both of whom were top teams at that grade. Perhaps it’s another case of a county board official getting all hot and bothered in the current player centred climate!
