Stars let loose as varsity action swings into gear

Colm Bonnar has seen both sides of the January tug o’ war.

Eight seasons steering Waterford IT to a bunch of Fitzgibbon Cup titles and being at the helm of the Wexford hurlers for the past few years have informed him on the demands placed upon the elite young GAA players in the country at this time of year.

Today the ball is thrown in for this year’s Sigerson Cup and the first sliotar will be pucked in anger tomorrow in the 2012 Fitzgibbon Cup. The dilemmas the protagonists involved have faced is one Bonnar can relate to.
