Cooney blasts board hypocrisy

THE hypocrisy of county boards is possibly the biggest challenge facing the GAA, according to president Christy Cooney.

Speaking about the recently-returned inter-county closed season in the Gold Coast yesterday, Cooney expressed his view that it’s common knowledge the moratorium on collective training in November and December is being breached.

After a motion to clear up the period was defeated at Congress last April, Central Council will next week vote on a phased closed season.
