Dessie Farrell has questioned the future of the provincial Championships after seeing his Dublin side cruise to yet another Leinster title.
A facile 21-point victory over Louth wrapped up Dublin’s 13th provincial crown in succession and 18th in 19 seasons as they now move into the new-look All-Ireland series in a group containing Roscommon, Kildare and Sligo.
Dubs boss Farrell has stated openly in the past that the provincials should be scrapped and the fact that the Connacht, Munster and Leinster finals produced an aggregate margin of victory of 49 points for Galway, Kerry and Dublin hardly weakens his viewpoint.
