Gaelic football is getting all the love while All-Ireland hurling semi-finalists shutting up shop from media limelight

FOOTBALL is getting all the love ahead of a dream weekend of All- Ireland SFC quarter-finals.

But as of last night, none of the hurling semi-finalists had opened their doors to the media ahead of their own big weekend on July 5 and 6.

Tipperary told SunSport they have shut up shop ahead of their first Championship appearance at Croker since 2019.

The Kilkenny camp had also gone silent until yesterday when defender Huw Lawlor spoke to the press at an All-Ireland golf classic event.

Cork booked their place in the last four after their Munster final win over Limerick over a fortnight ago — but it’s oh-so-quiet on Leeside too.

And the same goes for gallant Dublin, who stunned the Treaty in Saturday’s quarter-final.

GAA president Jarlath Burns lamented the lack of media engagement before last year’s hurling semi-finals.

And as of now, the same thing is happening again.

Come on, lads — don’t be shy, embrace the limelight. It’s not doing football any harm.
