Clancy: Cork club players will suffer

Cork footballer Tomas Clancy says the ‘Super 8’ championship format, passed by the GAA’s annual Congress last weekend, is going to be particularly difficult in a strong dual county like Cork.

“Club players are going to suffer massively, especially in a dual county like Cork. It’s going to be difficult to manage, though we’ve no choice in the matter now. We just have to get on with it,” said Clancy.

“It’s going to be more like the league, playing games every week, which for a county player is a good thing. The league is one of the more enjoyable times in a season because you’re playing games every week. It’s the gap that kills you.”
