Call for 25-player cap for county squads
Paddy Naughton, President of the Connacht Council, said that many fringe players on inter-county squads exist in a “Bermuda Triangle” where they see little action with county teams but yet can’t line out for their clubs. The Mayo official said that players can be drafted into county squads throughout the year but that the squad should never exceed 25 players.
“I think 25 players is the maximum any panel should house. Once you go beyond that number, you create the anomaly whereby some players sit in a kind of twilight zone – a Bermuda Triangle, if you like.
