Dr Crokes selector blasts ‘crazy’ scheduling

Two members of the Dr Crokes football management, along with half-forward Brian Looney, would prefer if the All-Ireland club championship was wrapped up within the calendar year, describing the 12-week gap between their Munster decider and All-Ireland semi-final as “crazy”.

Crokes meet Mullinalaghta on Saturday week in what will be the Killarney club’s fifth All-Ireland semi-final appearance since 2012. They believe the competition could be concluded far earlier than is presently the case.
