Munster Council responds to Liam Kearns on scheduling

The Munster Council have defended their decision to ask counties play two McGrath Cup fixtures within the space of four days.

Tipperary football manager Liam Kearns, in the wake of Sunday’s trouncing away to Kerry, expressed deep frustration at having to line out against Cork tomorrow evening and cannot see the logic behind the council’s scheduling.

Tipperary defenders Colm O’Shaughnessy and Paddy Codd will miss the Cork fixture after both suffered hamstring injuries at Austin Stack Park and Kearns is fearful of more injuries such is the short turnaround between games.
