GPA canvasses players in B championship standoff

The Gaelic Players’ Association is citing the opinions of the players directly involved in calling for the opposition to the introduction of a second tier in the All-Ireland SFC.

At this weekend’s Congress in Carlow, delegates will vote on whether the eight sides in Division Four should enter a ‘B’ competition, unless they reach their provincial final.

The GPA floated an alternative championship system last year — and hope to discuss same later this year — and the organisation believes that the proposal before Congress is far from satisfactory.
