Tipperary manager Liam Sheedy claims the county never stood a chance of qualifying from last year’s Munster SHC because they used April for club championship games. The 2010 All-Ireland winning manager feels because Tipperary abided by the spirit of the club month idea and organised championship matches last April, they suffered. "There’s no way they could have managed to play three weeks of club matches in a row and look to roll on into four weeks in a row of Championship. “Let’s call it straight — 22 of the 32 counties absolutely ignored (the club month). They can talk all they like about club month but if they’re serious about a club month we’ll have a club month; if they’re not, well move it.
