Donnelly: future of interpros unclear

SPONSOR Martin Donnelly has indicated that the interprovincial football championship will be held later this year but hinted that the future of the tournament remains up for debate.

GAA president Christy Cooney echoed the words of his predecessor Nickey Brennan yesterday in confirming the association’s support for both the Interpros and the Poc Fada “as long as the players continue to enjoy it”.

However, the tournament has been on life support for years and has only survived thanks to the continued backing of Donnelly who said that a date for the football competition will be addressed in September.
