O’Donovan’s warning on calendar year finish

Cork ’s senior administrator Diarmuid O’Donovan believes attempts to finish All-Ireland Club championships in a calendar year would have "serious consequences" for grassroots fixtures.

In his report for Sunday’s annual convention, O’Donovan admits if the proposed changes are passed then it would be impossible to run the Cork championships in their current guise.

“I also wish to draw the attention of the clubs to the current proposal toadjust the national games calendar into the calendar year,” O’Donovan writes.
