Clare defender Conor Cleary says playing two games in the space of 24 hours is doable if you ensure the proper recover.

Cleary will be on duty for UL in Saturday's Fitzgibbon Cup final before lining-out for the Banner men against Wexford on Sunday afternoon.

Last Saturday saw Corofin's Kieran Molloy racing from Tullamore to Santry play for NUI Galway in the Sigerson Cup final immediately after his club's All-Ireland semi-final victory and Cleary feels the best conditioning makes it possible for players at this level.

"I think it is, yeah," the Miltown-Malbay man told the Irish Daily Mirror. "I suppose we've done a lot of work with our counties, conditioning and that, and we're all well aware of recovery methods and stuff so it is possible.

"We're well conditioned and if you recover properly it is possible, yeah."

He continued: "There's four of us from Clare in UL and then there's Tipperary and Limerick as well and then there's Wexford and Dublin lads on the DCU team.

"I remember at the start of the year when the fixtures were made, the final was down for this Saturday and there was a round of the league down for the day after so it was made at the start of the year but we just went with it."
