Andy McEntee fears gap between club and county widening

New Meath senior football manager Andy McEntee has slammed the proposed introduction of a round-robin series at the quarter-final stage of the All-Ireland SFC, labelling the plans a “money racket.”

And McEntee, whose tenure with Ballyboden St Enda’s ended with Saturday’s round 2 Dublin SFC defeat to Kilmacud Crokes, insists that far too much emphasis is being placed by the GAA and GPA on inter-county players, who he estimates makes up roughly half a percent of the playing population.

McEntee added that it was “ridiculous” to expect Dublin’s All-Ireland winners to return to club action just a week after landing Sam Maguire.
