Con O’Callaghan takes steps back from UCD

In-demand Dublin dual starlet Con O’Callaghan has revealed he won’t line out for UCD in the Fitzgibbon and Sigerson Cup so as to ease his fixtures load.

He turned down the offer of a scholarship so that he could fully concentrate on Cuala’s All-Ireland club SHC semi-final against Slaughtneil on February 25.

Four days later, he intends lining out for the Dublin U21 footballers’ in their Leinster quarter-final against Meath or Westmeath.
