Training cap idea is backed

COUNCIL secretary Donie Nealon’s call for a cap on the number of inter-county training sessions received strong backing from delegates at last night’s annual convention in Adare.

Serious concern was expressed about the impact of the expanded inter-county programme on club activity and the drain on county finances.

Waterford chairman Paddy Joe Ryan said that with county teams now training on Saturdays, players were seeking compensation for wages lost because it was considered a working day.
