McGurn says flouting training ban makes sense

MANAGERS who break the training ban are acting in the best interests of their players’ welfare as they face pre-season action, according to Ireland International Rules fitness coach Mike McGurn.

The Fermanagh man, who finished up with Armagh after two seasons last year, is adamant players who trained during the moratorium won’t be as susceptible to injuries in the pre-season as those who recommenced this week.

A number of county panels reconvened this week but in McGurn’s opinion the majority have been back working for weeks and will benefit from doing so.
