Mid Tipp chief says GAA need to get priorities right

New Mid Tipperary GAA chairman Jonathan Cullen has warned that revenue from television and media rights now appear to be driving the national fixtures plan at the expense of the grassroots of the association.

Unanimously elected chairman at the division’s annual convention, the Loughmore-Castleiney man acknowledges that in the wake of decisions taken at national level regarding inter-county competition next year, and the consequent impact on local championships, the scheduling of games locally in the coming year is going to be challenging.

However, he said it is up to all involved to do their best to make the new club championship structures work.
