Legendary Cork dual star Teddy McCarthy is in favour of a split club season to encourage more players line out for their clubs’ football and hurling teams.

As some club players in Cork are reducing their commitments due to the condensed nature of the club window, McCarthy would like to see the club championships trialled on a consecutive basis as opposed to being run concurrently as is the case now.
