Derek Kavanagh warns GAA Congress calls will spark uprising at grassroots level
The decisions in Carlow on Saturday to reject a cut on the potential number of championship replays and bringing the All-Ireland finals forward by two weeks have been interpreted as kicks in the face for club players with Dublin’s Bernard Brogan describing the latter vote as a “stone age” decision.
In 2012, Nemo Rangers man Kavanagh succeeded in convincing Cork to pass a motion calling on the All-Ireland finals to be played one week earlier. However, he was opposed by the top table and was not invited to present the motion at Congress in Derry the following March where it received 26% support.
