Herbert wants August slot for All-Ireland finals

Oulart-the-Ballagh manager Pat Herbert has called on the GAA to move the All-Ireland senior finals back to August to give the club game a chance.

Playing hurling in the muck and mire of December weather is unfair on clubs who have given their all to reach a provincial final and the only solution is to change the inter-county season.

“To play a Leinster final two weeks before Christmas is a pity,” he said.
