Liam Dunne has taken exception to Eddie Brennan's assertion that the Walsh Cup should be scrapped.
Brennan called for the pre-season competition to be discontinued in the interest of player welfare following Kilkenny's defeat to Offaly last Sunday week, but the Wexford manager countered after his side's win over the Faithful yesterday: "When Eddie was winning his five or six Walsh Cup medals, or whatever, no doubt he had few problems with the competition.
"Like every competition, it can have its problems. Perhaps with some tweaking, the Leinster Council could have a top-class competition.
"It can be difficult for counties, but I would like to see the counties having all of their players available for the colleges have the Fitzgibbon. With the eight or so Leinster counties, and having all of their players available, it could be an excellent competition.
"Every county has its problems with colleges players, but I believe the way forward for the Walsh Cup is to make all the players available to their county."
