Kerry board rejects ‘dangerous’ fixture call

Kerry GAA secretary Peter Twiss has warned against a “highly dangerous” proposal from a senior football club in the county of postponing all SFC games between July’s Munster final and Kerry’s exit from the All-Ireland Football Championship.

The Rathmore motion, proposed by chairman Donal Murphy, aimed to end the frustration and uncertainty for senior club players in the summer, who were “demoralised” and wanted some certainty in their schedules.

But the proposal was met with a stinging rebuke at a board meeting Monday night by Twiss, who said the county would be reduced to a “laughing stock” if it was voted through.
