Colleges chief understands Morgan's frustration with Sigerson Cup scheduling

The GAA’s higher education chairman says he can understand UCC manager Billy Morgan’s frustration with the new scheduling of the Sigerson Cup but admits there is not a lot that can be done to alleviate it.

Morgan condemned the earlier start to the competition and said the university’s preparations for their opening win over NUIG was severely impacted by it. UCC began last year’s competition only four days later although the return of the knock-out element has raised the stakes.
