John Prenty warns of new player uprisings

Connacht Council secretary John Prenty has warned that further player uprisings, similar to the revolts which rocked the province in 2015, will lead to the creation of a “monster” within the GAA.

Both Galway hurling manager Anthony Cunningham and joint Mayo football managers Pat Holmes and Noel Connelly were ousted from their positions before Christmas following declarations of no confidence from their respective squads.

Prenty, in his report to convention, believes there will be serious implications for the GAA if respect is not forthcoming from all parties involved in an inter-county set-up.
