Darran O’Sullivan highlights championship structure ‘flaw’

Darran O’Sullivan means no disrespect to Clare but he just cannot see the logic in lining out against a team Kerry conquered a mere seven weeks ago.

Surely, the football draw can be structured in such a manner that repeat pairings are avoided, or, at the very least, are not thrown up so quickly after their initial summer joust.

“It is not ideal,” says the Kerry forward. “The one problem I have is that we played them so recently. I thought the whole idea of championship was that you play a team and then move on. That is just the big flaw that we won’t solve today.”
