AFL in danger of alienating GAA, Earley warns

THE AFL risks alienating its GAA counterparts if AFL clubs proceed with plans to hold a week-long recruitment camp for young Gaelic footballers in Australia this year.

So says former Roscommon All-star Paul Earley who has acted as an Irish liaison with Aussie Rules clubs seeking to recruit young talent here in the past.

It is believed that the camp, which would be organised by a number of AFL outfits, would be held in October with a number of Gaelic footballer’s best upcoming talent being invited.
