Colm Cooper fears county bosses will scupper calendar year plan

Colm Cooper has questioned the fate of the calendar year proposal, believing the will of county managers is a major stumbling block.

The eight-time All-Star has spoken before of his preference for all national fixtures to be completed within the same 12-month period.

However, he has concerns about its feasibility. “There isn’t enough weeks in the year, so, unless there’s a massive mindset change from the powers that be — whether it’s county boards or the GAA’s central committee — it’s not going to change.”
