Thurles Sarsfields selector Connie Maher bemoans long Tipperary gap

Thurles Sarsfields selector Connie Maher has bemoaned the 14-week break in this year’s Tipperary SHC championship.

In comparison to the 23-week gap in the Dublin senior football championship, the pause doesn’t look so yawning but it didn’t do the reigning champions or other clubs any favour, says Maher.

This Sunday, Sarsfields hope to emulate the club’s last three-in-a-row feat accomplished in the 1960s but Maher says the balance between club and county is not right.
