Clare’s Kenny Morrissey laments schedule as exam stress hits home

Clare minor hurling manager Kenny Morrissey is adamant this evening’s Munster minor semi-final against Tipperary should not have been scheduled so close to the end of the Leaving Cert.

Clare make their championship bow this evening, almost two and a half months after Tipperary’s opener against Waterford and while Morrissey has no qualms that Clare are the only side in this year’s Munster championship not afforded a second chance, he believes this game should have been put back until early July.

“The only thing I have an issue with is that the game is fixed so close to the Leaving Cert and it was very hard to keep the panel together while the Leaving Cert was on,” he said.
