For all the changes, the GAA approach remains the same

They’d like to think they’re making changes — and for the better — but it would appear to be that the GAA’s modus operandi is just business as usual under the new leadership tandem of John Horan and Tom Ryan.

On the surface some of Horan’s suggestions and actions concerning the GAA calendar and its competition structures seem progressive, even welcome.

Already he’s seen to it that next year’s hurling championship will have no team playing three consecutive weekends in the provincial round-robin series.
