Vaughan questions new boot initiative

Mayo footballer Donal Vaughan has questioned the Gaelic Players Association’s endorsement of the new GAA-GPA boot-selling initiative gaelicboots.com.

The Cork-born Ballinrobe man manages shoe shops in his hometown as well as Claremorris and admits the low prices on boots offered on the website are likely to have an impact on his business.

Vaughan’s team-mate Cillian O’Connor was among the five ambassadors named at the launch of the website in Croke Park last month. Both the GAA and the GPA have backed the initiative.
