Call for minor changes to ease exam pressure

Brendan O’Brien

In his programme notes for Sunday's senior All-Ireland football semi-final between Kerry and Cork, the GAA president suggested that no training sessions or games be held in May or June in the run-up to exams.

Instead he would envisage the championships commencing in July with the All-Ireland finals acting as curtain-raisers for their senior counterparts in September, as is currently the case.
