Length of season is ridiculous, says Breen

Limerick’s David Breen has yet to meet a fellow hurler who disagrees the current GAA fixture schedule is one giant mess.

When he tells them his chronic knee injury — which he will undergo surgery on this week, all but ruling him out of the Allianz League — is a result partly of that schedule, they only nod further.

A physio with a sports science background, the Munster SHC medallist believes ‘flogging himself’ over a number of years for club and county has been a ‘contributory factor’ to his present knee condition.
