Brennan: Counties and colleges must compromise

FORMER GAA president Nickey Brennan says neither a county nor a college should be able to lay outright claim to their players for pre-season competitions.

Brennan heads up the association’s third level committee, which has delivered a report to the Management Committee and Central Council in which they propose provincial councils facilitate agreements between county and college managements over the availability of players.

The Ulster Council this past week voted to approve the request of seven Tyrone players to represent the county over the respective colleges in next month’s McKenna Cup.
