Who are the top three hurlers in Leinster? Shane, Michael and the OurGame viewers have their say heading into the 2023 All-Ireland SHC.
This was a big debate on our Monday show, and sparked by a viewer posing the question.
A lot of familiar names came into the conversation, most notably TJ Reid of Kilkenny, Lee Chin of Wexford, Conor Whelan of Galway, and Dublin’s Donal Burke.
Shane Stapleton and Michael Verney have it out, with a number of our regular viewers throwing in their opinions too.
