County boards winning fixture-scheduling battle, says survey

Most county boards believe they are winning the battle with inter-county fixtures impinging on the club game.

n the first part of an Irish Examiner investigation into issues within the GAA, which starts in tomorrow’s paper, less than 15% of the 33 county boards polled accepted there was a major problem.

Most county boards felt that proper planning in the early stages of the year ensured club players were largely unaffected by a lack of games while the county team were still involved in the league and championship.
