Boards fear fixture chaos from FRC plans

County board chiefs have slammed Central Council’s decision to back the proposal to finish the club championships in a calendar year.

Top-brass in Cork, Dublin, Galway and Waterford believe the decision to condense the club calendar, mooted by the Football Review Committee (FRC), will cause fixture chaos and force dual counties to commence local championships as early as mid-March.

Waterford chairman Tom Cunningham and his Dublin counterpart Andy Kettle said dual counties are already struggling to meet present deadlines.
