GAA tension with GPA fizzes up again

RELATIONS between the GAA and GPA continue to worsen following a new sponsorship drinks deal.

Lucozade Sport, the official sports drink to 25 county teams, yesterday signed five county players to a new campaign which will be in direct competition with the GPA tie into Club Energise.

Earlier this year the GAA banned the latter brand from pitch-side advertising leading to increased tensions with the players’ body.
