Stack slams fixture ’madness’

AIB ALL-IRELAND CLUB SHC SEMI-FINAL:

It’s not the weather, bad as that is, which is causing him annoyance, — it’s the lack of a break for the players involved, one season merging into another as the GAA persists with carrying the final stages of the championships from one calendar year to the next.

Aggravating the situation for Stack is that Na Piarsaigh have a very young side with many players involved with colleges and schools along with county under-age teams. He’s trying to get his team ready for an All-Ireland semi-final but his players are being pulled in several directions at once.
