Armagh attacker Cahal Carvill has called for greater investment in Ulster hurling.

Carvill's plea comes in the wake of the surprise news that the Ulster SHC will be shelved for the next three years.

"I am deeply disappointed by the decision and the way the whole process was handled. It leaves a very sour taste in the mouth," the Middletown clubman said in an interview with the Irish News.

"I am not aware of any consultation taking place nor any engagement with the teams involved. In my view, hurling in Ulster needs to be prioritised above all other sports.

"It should be given the correct amount of resourcing and profile to ensure the sport succeeds and participation grows. The key is to get the kids excited about playing hurling as well as ensuring every child in Ulster that wants to play hurling, no matter where they are from, has the ability to do so."
