TONY CONSIDINE: GAA ruining the spectacle with November finals

I was in Cork last Sunday at their county final, Midleton beating holders Sarsfields; I was in Ennis then yesterday as Sixmilebridge took the title from Newmarket-on-Fergus in the Clare final. In both games the teams did their absolute best, but I have to say I’m really annoyed.

What’s the point of spending thousands on All Star trips and everything else when you’re treating your best club players with so much disrespect?

These were the two All-Ireland finalists, Clare and Cork, these were their the biggest games in those counties, and they’re played at this time of year, in these kind of conditions?
