Cathal Cregg wants action on minors’ workload

Roscommon footballer Cathal Cregg has called for a blanket ban on inter-county players togging out at third level.

Cregg, the Connacht GAA strength and conditioning officer, described as “shocking” the report into minor activity which concluded last week that the current level of application by many players is “unsustainable”.

A survey carried out by the review group highlighted that over 50% of minors in 2014 trained at least once a day six times a week and Cregg, a Sigerson Cup medal winner, concedes the situation is far worse at U21 level.
