Clubs urged to seek balance in development plans

THE Munster Council has stressed the importance of balanced development plans for GAA clubs if they wish to avoid having “fantastic facilities but limited playing resources”.

Deputy chief executive of the Munster Council Enda McGuane said last night that maintaining a balance in club development plans was a priority for the GAA’s governing body in the southern province.

He said: “There has to be a balance to plans that clubs make to develop – the facilities need to be developed but care also has to be paid to the playing side. A long-term plan for games development is also vital in order for the club to progress.”
