Fennessy warns packed schedule making it difficult for players

Theoretically, the postponement of a game can be seen as a help as it allows both sides more time to prepare.

When a large contingent of the players involved are getting ready for the Leaving Certificate, however, a change in schedule is not always for the best. Tonight, Waterford and Clare clash in Fraher Field in Dungarvan (7pm) in an Electric Ireland Munster MHC semi-final play-off, the original fixture having been postponed shortly before throw-in on April 17 due to heavy winds.

Clare manager Eamon Fennessy admits that players’ packed schedules can make things difficult.
