Munster counties united against calendar GAA season plan
Counties via Central Council last June voted in principle to support the proposal by the Football Review Committee. However, in what will be considered a major blow to the GAA hierarchy’s plans to implement it, Tipperary have become the latest Munster county to oppose it.
There had been indications before Christmas that Tipperary were going to be the only county to back the initiative of condensing all fixtures into the one year, which would see the All-Ireland finals brought forward by a week, meaning an August hurling decider, as well as the senior club finals moved from St Patrick’s Day back to December. Counties would also be expected to have their club championships by tighter deadlines.
