Kildare captain Eanna O’Neill rues quick-fire approach to Christy Ring Cup

If you’re the friend or relative of a player with Christy Ring Cup ambitions, now may be a good time to say whatever you need to say to them.

Chances are they’ll be otherwise engaged for the next few week as the GAA’s lower tier hurling competitions get underway and are run off at a terrific pace.

The action officially begins tomorrow though holders Kildare will travel to Dublin Airport today for a flight to London in advance of their Round 1 tie in Ruislip.
