Billy Morgan: Cathal Cregg’s proposal ‘ridiculous’

Sigerson Cup winning manager Billy Morgan and Higher Education committee chairman Gerry Tully have expressed strong opposition to calls for a blanket ban on inter-county players lining out at third level.

Morgan described as “ridiculous” a proposal by Roscommon footballer Cathal Cregg for inter-county players to be deemed ineligible for college competitions so to lessen the risk of burnout.

Tully warned such a move would see the funding of third level GAA clubs decimated.
