Ó Sé says no logic to playing two championship fixtures in a week

From one great escape to another — Kerry have made another mountain for themselves, according to Tomás Ó Sé.

The 2004 footballer of the year, 35 in June, looked the part on Sunday as Eamonn Fitzmaurice’s men delivered on their side of the bargain in keeping the county in Division 1 next season.

However, he feels the Kerry Co Board have caused difficulty for their players by agreeing to play a possible two Munster championship games in the space of six days. Should they beat Tipperary in their provincial quarter-final on May 25 in Killarney, Kerry will be back in Fitzgerald Stadium to face Waterford in a June 1 semi-final. If they manage to overcome those two games on May 25 and June 1, they will have a five-week break before a Munster final. Ó Sé shakes his head at the nature of the schedule. “I can’t understand the layout of it. We could have two games in a week and we’ve two more games in two months — I don’t see the logic in it at all.
