More GAA stars facing career dilemma

More inter-county Gaelic players will follow the example of Rory O’Carroll and quit the game for a period of time, according to former Dublin full-back Paddy Christie. 

And Cavan manager Terry Hyland has echoed Christie’s sentiments and warned inter-county footballers will find it increasingly difficult to sustain their current commitment while holding down a job.

The likes of Leitrim’s Emlyn Mulligan, Wexford’s PJ Banville and Jamie Clarke of Armagh have all decided in recent years to skip the inter-county season.
