Kelly plan for players’ election

SEÁN KELLY remains to be convinced that GPA members will refuse to have an involvement in the Players Committee he plans to establish through a ballot of inter-county panelists.

Indeed, he expressed the hope after his formal installation as president in Belfast on Saturday that the GPA would have a rethink about not having anything to do with the committee.

Confirming that it was his intention to hold an election, he said: "I would be hoping of getting some kind of an elective system where we can get the players on a committee, elected by the players, and then we would take it from there."
