Well, I donât know about Clare for certain but presumably they will be running off league competitions etc earlier in the year anyway. So theyâll still have to go back training. Although, yes, if you know for a fact you wonât be playing Championship in August, January is very fucking early to be going back.
I know that some people are giving out about the fact that you could play a few Championship games in April and then be waiting 4 or 5 months for the next one but to me, that is way more preferable than only starting in August. Thatâs basically how it runs already.
The hurling league only finished up here last Saturday (@Joe_Player is very quiet about the result). The football league final was three weeks ago I think. Thatâs a long season for any club if theyâre paying for outside expertise.
Tis better in fairness. The Tipp lads I work with seem to have plenty more games than we do between divisions and everything else. Fuck this training from January shit.
