Very hard to juggle codes, says Davy

Davy Fitzgerald stopped short of banning his players from playing county football next year but did express strong reservations.

“My honest opinion is that you can’t do both, it’s very, very hard to train for both codes but in saying that I’m not going to stop them and I’m not going to drop anyone from the hurling panel if they want to try to do it,” he said on Clare FM yesterday.

“I remember ringing Eoin Cadogan from Cork and asked him what he thought; he said ‘Not a hope Davy, very hard to do both’. I’ve told all the lads what I think but I said if they want to try, we’ll try to make it work.”
