It won’t be possible to play in every game, Pádraic Maher says

Tipperary captain Pádraic Maher accepts neither he or any of his team-mates will be able to play all league and championship games next year because of the condensed schedule.

If Tipperary are to return to the Division 1 final, they will have eight games in nine weeks while their four Munster matches come in as many weeks.

The five-time All Star acknowledges not only the intense run of matches from the end of January to the end of March will mean players will have to take rests but the rush of provincial championship outings from May 20 will compel manager Michael Ryan to utilise more of his panel.
