I don't understand the mindset Mourne Red.
The league this year is a series of glorified friendlies and you're giving off because they've been brought forward, thereby limiting the need for your club to organise friendlies.
Meanwhile the championship earns a week of two's breathing space which means a penalty shoot out might be avoidable.
County board can't win if you reckon this is an issue.
Injuries - Player Welfar etc... as I said in my original post, yes we've all been out running doing our own stuff but it doesn't replicate what you do in training, less than 3 weeks to train up to league pace then 3 weeks to get into Championship pace.
This doesn't allow management to get players into right condition and I wouldn't be surprised if there's an increase in injuries, we've had 2 so far from 2 sessions
And from what I've heard and I mentioned in my post They've also brought championship forward thewobbler so there's no breathing space
Honestly I think you're a wee bit caught up in the death-by-training myth espoused by managers. If professional footballers can return to competitive football within a fortnight of training, there is no reason on this earth why GAA players would need longer. Especially for a league with no promotion / relegation.
Regarding muscle injuries, these happen all the time in football. I'd think you're looking out for them now with some sort of cause and effect scenario being played out, when they literally happen all the time (and I've the physio bills to prove it). In my experience, the only training sessions which have a full availability of players starting and finishing the session are those in the week before championship round 1, and those in the week before a championship final.
Hopefully you won't get too many injuries in your challenge match tomorrow morning Wobbler, you don't need more physio bills especially as you aren't covered by GAA insurance to play the game. As club secretary I'm sure you know about this game? Just a short trip up the Dublin road but why the early start?
