Bryan Sheehan: Inter-county schedule is ‘madness’

Kerry captain Bryan Sheehan believes the All-Ireland SFC is in “dire need” of a revamp, calling for a condensed summer schedule.

The Kerry footballers enjoyed a 10-week layoff following the conclusion of their league campaign last year, with Sheehan labelling as “madness” the disproportionately high training to games ratio consequent of such a break.

A gap of no more than three weeks between championship games is Sheehan’s recommendation, in favour also of a more compact inter-county season to end the second-class treatment of club players.
