Eamon O’Shea hits out at hurling finals' replay proposal

O’Shea has voiced his opposition to the proposal of the Central Council workgroup that All-Ireland hurling final replays take place six days after the drawn game.

The Tipperary boss believes the turnaround would prove insufficient in allowing players to adequately recover, calling instead for a two-week window to a replayed fixture.

Speaking after Tipperary’s narrow defeat to Clare in the Waterford Crystal quarter-final, O’Shea has backed the implementation of the entire club season into the calendar year but is against the replay plans.
