"Not only that, yesterday, we had a game arranged with Cork and their manager Sean Hayes. I received a phone call on Saturday that the game couldn't go ahead because of some ridiculous, obscure rule that some idiot in Croke Park looked up and took out of a rule book and decided he was going to implement this weekend."That rule, according to Curran was that under-20 games can only take place on the days Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.
"Some of these fellas are in colleges all over the country. So as management, you're not going to ask lads who are in the middle of their Thesis or final exams, to come down of a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday night for a challenge or training game. So Sunday is the only day really that you can do so."
"The Cork manager Sean Hayes was absolutely livid. It was John Horan who said the game couldn't go ahead, that was despite the fact that other games went ahead yesterday but some obscure rule only allows the players to play on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday - now this is clownology of the highest order."It doesn't seem to make much sense at all.
