GPA chief executive calls on Congress delegates to oppose Super 8 motion

GPA chief executive Dermot Earley has called on Congress delegates to shoot down the “Super 8” All-Ireland senior football championship proposal, writes John Fogarty of the Irish Examiner.

While the official inter-county players body are wholly supportive of bringing forward the All-Ireland senior finals to August and adding the facility of extra-time to all non-final championship matches, he said the fact over 70% of inter-county panels are against the recommendation should be heeded.
