GALWAY ARE TO continue to hit a brick wall in their efforts to have a home senior hurling championship game in Leinster and to get their underage sides to compete in the province.<\/p>\n

Since joining Leinster in 2009, Galway have yet to host a senior game while their minor and U21 hurling teams continue to commence their campaigns in the All-Ireland series.<\/p>\n

Leinster Council Chairman John Horan believes if Ballinasloe was upgraded, then it could be a potential home venue for the Tribesmen and revealed they get an extra \u20ac20k \u2018top-up\u2019 annually to compensate for having no home match.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no change within the body of Leinster Council and Galway have met the officers, they\u2019ve met the management committee and they\u2019ve come and met the full council, but the counties are just of the view.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think if Galway had Ballinasloe in shape, part of it is going as far as Salthill is partially the problem, it\u2019s just the distance. You are going nearly the width of Galway to it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have discussed that every year and there is no change. In terms of their minors coming in, the same thing, no change.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey play in the senior championship in hurling and that was what was agreed to. They play in the intermediate, that came in, in the last two years. That\u2019s how people in Leinster feel. <\/p>\n

\u201cGalway do get financial recompense over and above everybody else in Leinster for the fact they are in the championship. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo they do get a grant every year for they don\u2019t get a home game in Galway where they say they could get ground rent or revenue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have been looked after financially. They get their travel expenses as well. There is a 20 grand top up, they\u2019ve been given. That is the story that is not told.\u201d<\/p>\n
