Fixture list is madness

My home club Ardoyne Kickhams were given our fixture list for the season and I have to say I wonder at times what's happening at Casement Park.
We have a good run of games from the football leagues start in April and into May.
However, in the next four months during the best weather of the year when the inter-county action is in full swing and interest in Gaelic games peaks we have only five league games.
This at a time when we usually have a full panel available, free from the distractions of soccer, other sports or players home from colleges and universities.
I just don't get this.
Yes we will have at least one championship game as well as the game per month in the league and if we make progress we could have as many as eight games in total over the whole of these summer months.
Like most other clubs outside the top divisions we don't have a lot of players on county duty and our county is not renowned for going all the way in the senior championships so what is the point in training and preparing players for their season when they have only five games for four months.
This is a huge turn-off too for the players, many of whom know they can get a game of soccer week in and week out 30 weeks of the year.
And just to add insult to injury the games resume in earnest in October and November.
Can anyone explain why we seem to want to make it as difficult as possible to prepare and keep teams interested and ensure that our league campaigns finish on the heaviest pitches of the year?
