Limerick attacker Tom Morrissey says the winners of Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC final should be allowed to take home the Liam MacCarthy Cup.

GAA president John Horan confirmed last week that the Sam Maguire and Liam MacCarthy Cups will not be released to the winning teams in 2020 over fears they would be "a focus of crowds gathering."

Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of this weekend’s decider against Waterford, Morrissey says it would be “hugely disappointing” for the victors’ not to bring the silverware back home with them.

“Whether ourselves or Waterford win, I think it will be hugely disappointing if you couldn't bring the trophy home with you," he said.

"Obviously we're training together three times a week as it is, we're going out together playing in a match.

“We're going to be playing against 15 to 20 other players as well from Waterford and they're likewise.

“So whichever team is victorious on the day you'd imagine that they should be allowed to hold the trophy together if they're allowed do all of that."
