Demands placed on players is just ‘too much’, warns Cork boss Meyler

The overload on inter-county hurlers is a growing concern for managers John Meyler and Derek McGrath.

With both men’s panels full of Fitzgibbon Cup players, each are reticent about putting more pressure on them at this stage of the season.

Meyler admits “too much” is being demanded of elite hurlers compared to his son, Ireland soccer international David, who currently plies his trade with English Championship club Hull City.
