Hickey on fire but burnout not an issue

LIMERICK senior hurler Seamus Hickey believes the issue of burnout amongst young players can be “a state of mind” and says proper communication lines between managers is the best way to ease those concerns.

Hickey played a remarkable seven games in the 19-day period between February 13 and March 3 as he lined out for the Limerick senior hurlers as well as the UL Fitzgibbon Cup and Sigerson Cup teams, including four games in a seven-day timeframe.

Hickey has no qualms about pursuing that punishing schedule and has praised the cooperation between his various managers.
