Morgan envious of Cluxton's speedy ball boy service

If Stephen Cluxton is allowed to have ball boys at his beck and call why can't Tyrone, asks Niall Morgan.

Dublin's quick kick-out strategy is largely dependent on how fast ball boys get the ball to Cluxton and his Red Hand counterpart is demanding the same service.

"It's obvious that Dublin have appointed ball boys to fire a ball to Cluxton whenever he calls for one," Morgan said to The Irish Daily Star.

"We were told in Omagh and in Newry that we weren't allowed anyone to feed the ball back out to us from behind the goal.

"Why's it so different in Croke Park? Are we allowed ball boys or not? Personally speaking I'd like to see them in every ground.

"Why not run a competition for young boys and girls and offer them the chance to be part of the occasion as well?

"Not only does it help to level the playing field in terms of restarts but it makes the game flow much better.

"Is that not what everyone associated with the games wants?"
