GPA deal 'back to grassroots'
Launched almost five years ago in Belfast, the Gaelic Players Association has frequently faced the criticism that it benefits only the highest profile inter-county footballers and hurlers, while doing little for the grassroots members of the association.
Yesterday, the players' body announced the venture with ClubTel, which they hope will provide €7m annual revenue for GAA clubs throughout the country and allow the rank and file members of the GAA playing and non-playing to save significant figures on their residential and business phone bills.
