"Hopefully the winter months will slip along without us noticing"

Cork legend Larry Tompkins feels the 2020 inter-county season will “create a good interest” for fans during the winter.
The delayed campaign is set to start next month with the remaining rounds of the National League preceding the All-Ireland championships.
Speaking yesterday at the launch of his autobiography new Believe, two-time All-Ireland winner Tompkins says that the championships will leave fans with something to look forward to at the weekends.
“Hopefully it will shorten the winter whereas if it wasn’t there, there’d be an awful gap,” he said.
“I think people will look forward to the weekends and the live television action, both Saturday and Sunday. People going through Covid at the moment, it’s hard enough. Not to look forward to something at the weekend would be really difficult. I think with GAA matches taking place, hopefully the winter months will slip along without us noticing.
“The novelty of it in the winter time and the novelty of the climax of it then the week before Christmas, the All-Ireland finals, I think will create a good interest.
“I know the one sour thing is just the attendance of people not being able to go to games, it’s very difficult. But I do think when the inter-county season starts, please God there will be a few more that will be able to get to the grounds.”
