I want players to play, not strike, says CPA co-ordinator Liam Griffin

The Club Players’ Association’s hurling fixtures co-ordinator Liam Griffin is not interested in the group taking a nuclear option and calling on players to strike.

The 1996 All-Ireland-winning manager, who believes Congress “does not work well” in helping clubs and deciding other matters, is against taking drastic measures.

“For the simple reason I want fellas to play games, I don’t want to stop them playing games. I’m not a member of ASTI or a trade union or somebody saying ‘the gates are locked and you can’t go in’, so, from my perspective, I don’t want to see a situation where we take games away, I want to work in a meaningful way.”
