Kingdom clubs see red over fixtures

Two Kerry football clubs have hit out at the Munster Ladies Council for forcing at least eight players to play two games in a day.

Kerry senior champions Sliabh Luachra and junior champions Scartaglin are fixed to play in the Munster championship tomorrow. However, half the Sliabh Luachra team which claimed the county title on Wednesday night, also play for Scartaglin who are due to play Boherbue from Cork at 12.30pm tomorrow in Ballydesmond. The players involved with Sliabh Luachra would have to dash for the Tarbert Car Ferry to make Doolin for a 5.30pm throw-in against Clare champions, Banner (Ennis) in the Munster Senior B semi-final.

Kerry wing-back Julie Brosnan called the whole scenario a “joke” as she points out that the four most important games in her season are all taking place within a seven-day period.
