Miskella: Wrong for clubs to be idle

CORK footballer John Miskella believes club fixture calendars need urgent attention as players are being left idle during the summer months as inter-county championships continue to grow.

Miskella expressed sympathy for the plight of club players leftfrustrated by not knowing when they will play but admitted it is “a thankless job” for those in charge of fixing games, particularly in a dual county like Cork.

“It’s wrong and I’ve always said that,” he said. “You could play no game for four months and then have three games in two weeks. There should be a fixed fixture list and the games should be played regardless of who is or isn’t there.
