Central Council to ease training ban restrictions

THE majority of inter-county teams will be permitted to return to collective training in November as part of Central Council’s proposed phased closed season.

The allowance forms part of an amendment adopted in Croke Park yesterday, which will be put forward as a motion at Congress in April with a view to being introduced at the end of 2013.

The adjustment proposes teams whose championships finish in June be allowed return to training on November 1, with those exiting the SFC and SHCs returning on November 15.
