McGrath relishing the diet of action

NOEL McGRATH insists he has no problems with the hectic playing schedule facing himself and his Tipperary hurling teammates over the coming weeks.

McGrath features for the Tipperary U21 hurlers in the Bord Gáis Energy All-Ireland U21HC semi-final against Antrim on Saturday afternoon, just a fortnight before the county square off against Kilkenny in the All-Ireland senior decider.

Success in the U21 semi-final will see Tipperary face an All-Ireland final date in that grade just seven days after the Kilkenny clash. The decision of the Tipperary county board to postpone club matches next weekend does offer McGrath some respite, but he still declares that he is enjoying the regular action.
