Brian Cody can understand why so many club players are up in arms over the scheduling of fixtures.

Speaking to the Irish Daily Mirror after the the recommendations of the Fixture Calendar Review task force were released this week, the Kilkenny manager commented: “I think the club scene has been really getting a hard time. You play in April and then it’s, ‘We’ll let you know when you’ll play again’ sort of stuff, ‘It could be August, whatever, we’ll see, could be September’.

"It’s not the best situation for the clubs at all and I know a lot of club players are very, very unhappy with it. The balance is not right, it’s just not right.”

Cody doesn't believe that handing over the month of April to club activity is a solution to the problem.

“You’re still waiting four or five months for the next game, trying to do something (training wise), whatever you could. That’s not a solution. The balance is not right, like I said. It’s difficult and I don’t have the solution for it, but I would love to see something more positive happening,” he added.
