Farrell: Respect amateur roots

WESTMEATH County Board chairman Tom Farrell called on the GAA to respect its amateur status and said any change in policy can only be implemented by voluntary officials.

Addressing club delegates at the packed County Convention in the Rosemount GAA Centre on Saturday, Farrell stressed the importance of the association respecting the roles of amateurs in the GAA.

“The strength of our association has been always our voluntary ethos,” he said.
