Clubs disconnected by changes

News that two of the three GAA presidential candidates don’t intend harming a hair on the heads of Gaelic football and hurling will come as welcome relief to many at club level.

So strongly does Seán Walsh feel about it he’s made it his one commitment if elected: “Just because you become president of the GAA doesn’t mean you have to set up a committee to look at the games.”

Both his and Aogán Ó Fearghail’s stance is reflective of the exasperation they have encountered across the country with the raft of changes the sports have faced in recent times.
