Eamon O’Shea: ‘We need more championship games’

Former Tipperary manager Eamon O’Shea wants an increase in championship games at senior inter-county level.

O’Shea, the keynote speaker at Saturday’s GAA coaching conference in Croke Park, lamented the disproportionally high training to games ratio that inter-county hurlers endure.

“As a coach you are looking to see how players will do in a pressurised situation and to do that you have to put them in a pressurised situation. The hurling championship needs more matches,” said O’Shea.
