And he was saying that Davey was getting...

Four trains to go and train Coach Antrim.

Limerick to Dublin, the Lewis across to Connolly, the train up to Belfast and another train out to be picked up close to Dunsilly.

I found it unbelievable that after all his time on the road,

That this year he was taken.

That's some logistics to get up to Antrim.

So he likes the challenge, but this was a challenge much too far for him.

And I think it'll be difficult for Davey to get back in as an inter-county manager, possibly as part of a coaching team somewhere.

He obviously spent a year with the Cork Camogie team.

team a few years back he's been involved in inter-county hurling either as a player as a minor or as a manager he obviously went from Clare Goldkeeper or reserve Clare Goldkeeper in 2007 he quit in the middle of that season and then took over a year less than a year later as Waterford manager so every year since the late 80s since 87 I think it is he's been involved he's had some involvement in inter-county hurling or as it was for that year with Camogie as well

There may be a project out there for him at some of the lower levels, but the idea that he would go from Clare up to Antrim, difficult.

And obviously he had the voices of some past players that were militating against him.

And they're obviously doing it.

They're on the ground there.

They sense what they feel and the direction it was taking.

So all around, I think it was a step too far.

Obviously, they are...

Davey's a lot younger than, well, not a lot younger than what Poddy was.

Now that's, that's not, that's, that's not, obviously Mick O'Dwyer was, was, you know, that was, he was much, much older at that stage, but Poddy and Davey are probably at the same end, but it just feels like, you know, he's running out of road for these, for these projects.

Like he could get in somewhere and his experience and his...
