GAA red card for summer switches to Big Apple

GAA chiefs have drafted a new rule to prevent players from abandoning their counties for New York following early Championship defeats.

Laois, Armagh and Offaly have all been rocked by the loss of players to the US following their exit from their respective provincial championships, leaving them at a loss for the qualifiers.

GAA Director General Paraic Duffy revealed a new rule has now been drawn up that will ban all but students from leaving their counties to play summer football in the US.
