Brian Fox: ‘Football suffered most in dual player ban’

Brian Fox knows that Tipperary football, not hurling, that suffered most as a result of Liam Cahill’s ban on dual players lining out for the Premier minor hurlers.

The county reached the All-Ireland final in both codes in 2015, with six players, Emmet Moloney, Brian McGrath, Stephen Quirke, Alan Tynan, Tommy Nolan and Jack Skehan, featuring in both games.

The two finals were lost and ahead of the minor hurlers’ 2016 campaign, manager Cahill told prospective dual players to pick one code only for the forthcoming season.
