Committee to solve fixtures crisis

GAA President Sean Kelly has created a super committee, charged with solving the fixture crisis engulfing games at all levels.

The Kerryman has invited the chairmen from each of the GAA's existing committees to formulate a workable playing schedule which can accommodate inter-county, club and college fixtures at senior, minor and U-21 levels for both hurling and football.

Pauric Davis, the former head of the GAC, will chair the body which met for the first time on Monday evening. "Any recommendations will be forwarded by August to be looked at," Kelly explained in Dublin's Shelbourne Hotel yesterday.
