More of the same, says content Cooney, as DRA demand eases

GAA president Christy Cooney has expressed satisfaction at the decline in the number of cases heading to the Disputes Resolution Authority.

And he is hoping for more of the same in 2010.

Cooney voiced concern at the trend of challenging bans and suspensions in his Congress address last April. On that occasion, he said that Croke Park would “strive to cultivate” a sense of fair play, where players would take responsibility for their actions and the “all-important” role of match officials was fully recognised and valued.
