Cooney: Counties can unite to change ruling

GAA president Christy Cooney has said he won’t stand in the way of counties who oppose the winter inter-county collective training ban coming together and standing behind a single motion.

Central Council delegates were told on Saturday that if there is a genuine feeling against the moratorium as it stands, similarly-minded counties should come together and support one proposal to change it.

Cooney also expressed his frustration with the multitude of questions from the media about reports of inter-county teams contravening the rules and underlined the importance of county boards ensuring their sides adhere to it.
