Fermanagh chiefs to examine report into player impasse

THE chances of the Fermanagh footballers’ impasse being resolved quickly rests on the outcome of a meeting of the county board’s management committee on Monday.

Chiefs will discuss a report on clear-the-air talks held on Thursday night by the GAA and GPA between county committee members and a number of players who have quit John O’Neill’s panel.

Part of a joint GAA-GPA statement released yesterday read: “The meeting was held in accordance with the Disputes Resolution protocols as outlined in the recently announced Recognition Agreement. The meeting was most constructive and addressed a number of issues highlighted by both the players and the county officers present.”
