McDermott hits out at ‘unfair’ seeding proposal

Clare senior football manager Micheal McDermott has spoken out against proposals to resume seeding the Munster SFC.

McDermott’s Banner side face Cork in the Munster final on Sunday week, and speaking last night he said: “I don’t think there should ever be a seeding system in any province because I think it would be very, very unfair if you look at this year and the start of the year and everyone has to be realistic about where your standing is.

“At the start of the year Limerick, Waterford and Clare saw an opportunity of getting to a Munster final and it brings a renewed vigour to the team and your preparations all year long vis a vis if you look at the likes of Tipperary who have been drawn against Kerry three years in a row. It’s hard to face into a championship year with that hanging over you and when you see that opportunity it would be an awful shame.
