Dessie Farrell: No GPA ‘rabble-rousing’ in player revolts

Gaelic Players Association head Dessie Farrell admits the group played a role in the recent Galway and Mayo management disputes as counsel to the players but insists it had no interest in “rabble rousing”.

Farrell was responding to inferences made by ousted Galway hurling manager Anthony Cunningham that the GPA was involved in the player heave which ultimately forced his recent resignation.

Cunningham claimed that the Galway players were “led by a core group of players orchestrated with the help of others outside Galway”.
