John Kiely says that the ruling which prevents players from lining out at under-20 and senior level is “penalising our best players”.
The Limerick boss pitched Cathal O’Neill into their 11-point Munster semi-final win over Cork yesterday as a 57th minute sub, with the youngster advancing his claims for a starting spot in Saturday’s joust with Waterford by scoring two fine points.
However, as a result of featuring in the senior Championship, he is now ineligible to line out for the under-20 team in Wednesday night’s Munster Championship tie against Cork due to a GAA ruling that was introduced to protect young players from burnout.
