It’s not end of the line for interpros

THE interprovincial competitions have been given another lifeline after Central Council last night voted to give it the go-ahead on a trial basis.

The games are likely to be played in 2012 as the GAA master fixtures list for this year is set and October is ruled out because of Ireland’s International Rules two-test series in Australia.

A final decision on the games will be made thereafter. It’s not a stretch to suggest they might be played on a basis similar to the International Rules, which is played for two years with a break in the third year before resuming again.
