Derek Kavanagh urges Páraic Duffy to shelve championship plans

Club Players Association (CPA) fixtures coordinator Derek Kavanagh believes the “Super 8” All-Ireland SFC proposal will be “the straw that breaks the camel’s back” for club fixtures.

As the Cork County Board meet tonight to discuss it and other motions that will be voted on this Saturday, former county captain Kavanagh has reiterated the call for GAA director general Páraic Duffy to hold off on the blueprint and sit down with the CPA and other stakeholders to discuss alternatives.

Adding another layer to the inter-county season, Kavanagh believes, is not in the best interests of club players or the GAA as a whole.
