"The games last year in Scotland were fantastic spectacles and drew very favourable comment from television viewers after being screened in Ireland. The series provides our hurlers with a chance to wear an Irish jersey and I know this is something they value greatly" said Criostóir Ó Cuana Uachtarán Chumann Lúthchleas Gael. "I also know that a number of clubs have forged links with their Scottish counterparts and this is something we encourage. I would also like to welcome our Scottish visitors and wish both teams every success".
