Managers urged to get squad balance right

SEAN KELLY wants inter-county managers to adopt a sensible approach on the use of “fringe” players in their squads.

The GAA president was speaking at the Bank of Ireland sponsorship launch in Dublin yesterday, where he also made it clear the GAA would play their part if and when an application is received from either the FAI or the IRFU to play a game in Croke Park. They will be reasonable in dealing with any such application, he said.

“If games are not played in Croke Park, it will not be the GAA who will be the cause of stopping them.’’
