As Kilkenny and Tipperary prepare to do battle in another final, Nickey Brennan is concerned.

The former GAA president is worried that the two counties' dominance of hurling is set to continue, pointing out in The Kilkenny People that it would be good for the game to see other counties coming through:

"There is something very exciting yet worrying about Sunday's national hurling league final in Nowlan Park.

"I know the supporters of both counties are looking forward to another mouth-watering clash, but hurling so badly needs to see new teams challenging for honours.

"Galway appeared to be well equipped to tackle the Kilkenny and Tipperary dominance, but its inept semi-final display against the Cats has left many wondering if we are witnessing yet another false dawn.

"I hope that is not the case, but the Tribesmen's mentors must undertake much soul-searching in the coming weeks in advance of their Leinster championship campaign." Tweet
