Tipperary clubs facing hectic schedule to avoid fixture pile-up

Several Tipperary clubs will play “more than once a week” to avoid a repeat of last year when the county were unable to compete in three Munster Club competitions.

The success of the minor football and hurling teams reaching All-Ireland finals has contributed to a fixtures logjam for the county, Tipperary secretary Tim Floyd has acknowledged.

A number of clubs games in both codes have been postponed as a result of the deciders against Galway this Sunday and Kerry on September 20, while there is a ripple effect for other clubs as they await on results of matches.
