U20 Football rule is lunacy, says Premier boss Liam Cahill

Tipperary U20 hurling manager Liam Cahill has described as “lunacy” the rule which prevents young footballers from playing U20 and senior championship in the one summer, insisting that there is no threat of burnout to the three members of his panel who are also part of Liam Sheedy’s set-up.

Tipperary hurlers Paddy Cadell, Jerome Cahill, and Jake Morris have spent the year doubling up at U20 and senior level, with Morris featuring in each one of the county’s seven games en route to the All-Ireland senior final, while Cahill was introduced as a sub in the Munster final defeat to Limerick and All-Ireland quarter-final win over Laois.
