Former Tipperary hurler James Woodlock says it will be impossible for young hurlers and footballers to play both codes this year with the minor competitions running side by side in the GAA calendar.

Woodlock has been named the new Tipperary minor hurling manager, and although he says he would never stop anyone trying to play both games, he feels the demands of each sport make it impossible for 2021 minors to flourish.
