Kingston: Crazy demands on inter-county players

UCC Fitzgibbon Cup manager Tom Kingston has described the demands on inter-county players as “crazy”, hitting out at a fixtures schedule which will see numerous top-level hurlers play five games across a 14-day period.

UCC opened their Fitzgibbon Cup campaign with a six-point win away to the University of Limerick on Sunday, a game which marked the beginning of a hectic fortnight of action for the Cork and UCC trio of Shane Kingston, Mark Coleman and Robbie O’Flynn, as well as Kerry’s Shane Conway.
