WEXFORD STAR LEE Chin is still considering his dual-code future and whether he will commit to football or hurling next season.
Chin hit the headlines this summer with Championship appearances in both codes in the space of 24 hours — and even topped off one busy weekend with a guest appearance on the Sunday Game.
The 20-year-old has already admitted that he is unlikely to keep up such a packed schedule next season, but he hasn’t decided whether he will stick with small or big ball.
“It was a great experience,” Chin said. “I really enjoyed it but it is something that is very hard to maintain.
You have to decide some weekends, then other weekends you are not even given the option or the choice. But it is something I am maybe thinking about at the moment – just sticking to one.I haven’t really decided about it yet but it’s something I am definitely considering.
The last inter-county action of a busy year came in the U21 semi-finals last month when Wexford were 1/80 favourites but shocked by underdogs Antrim.
“We took our eye off the ball,” Chin, who captained Wexford that day, admitted.
“We kind of had it in our minds that it was just Antrim that we were going to play and we were red-hot favourites in that game.
“It just got to too many lads’ heads and especially when there are other people around you saying ‘it’s just Antrim, you should be preparing for an All-Ireland.’
“I suppose that’s what we were thinking about and we shouldn’t, but sure we’ll learn from our experience and we’ll move on.”
