Horan calls for ‘standard’ fixtures

Mayo manager James Horan and All Star Aidan O’Shea have called on the GAA to introduce a national standardised fixtures plan incorporating all club and inter-county activity.

The Connacht champions played their third round of club championship games last weekend. Alongside Cork and Kerry, they have are the only sides in the last 12 to play so many club games over the summer.

Dublin played a round of their club championship in May while Donegal have called off theirs until the county is out of the All-Ireland series due to the belief that increased games means an increased risk of injury.
