Twiss: Players suffer as clubs won’t amalgamate

Kerry clubs have given the county’s Competitions Control Committee (CCC) the green light to a look at the regional minor leagues this summer as concern is growing that players are being denied football because neighbouring clubs will not amalgamate.

County secretary Peter Twiss informed delegates of this serious and undesirable trend that has developed.

“The feeling of the CCC is if it’s bad now, with clubs not being able to field minor teams in county leagues, it is even going to get worse in the regional leagues over the summer,” he said.
