Cork County Board secretary criticises GAA calendar season plan

Cork County Board secretary Frank Murphy believes moving the All-Ireland Club senior finals from their current St Patrick’s Day slot would be a retrograde step. 

The first county board meeting of the year was held last night, with Nemo Rangers hosting meetings during the redevelopment of Páirc Uí Chaoimh. Both Murphy and new chairman Ger Lane were united in opposition to proposed changes which would see club championships finished in a calendar year.

Cork’s Central Council delegate Des Cullinane delivered a report from the meeting of January 17, which included a report from the calendar-year workgroup that asked that members take the issue back to their counties for discussion.
