Clubs will eventually have to stand up and say ‘no’

With the Kerry club championship finals fixed for next weekend, the county league action took centre-stage on Saturday and Sunday.

Though Kerry wouldn’t play a Munster championship semi-final against either Clare or Limerick until June 3, no player involved with the county squad was released to play those games.

It is not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things as rightly or wrongly the clubs are used to playing league football without their county men.
