I think the inter-county scene can lead the way in finding a return to play. From the outset, I felt that inter-county had a better chance of returning to play first. That was always my gut instinct. Not out of selfishness that we wanted to get back first but that our numbers are much, much smaller than the club scene, a fraction of it. And we do have our own medical teams in place on a consistent basis.
