Cold snap between GAA and GPA grows

The GAA yesterday said they will hear the GPA’s concerns after they hung the threat of strike over yesterday’s Bank Holiday Monday games.

In a statement on Sunday evening, the official inter-county players’ body said they would back squads unwilling to play yesterday because of a lack of consultation with players regarding the rescheduling.

The decision was largely taken out of their hands with all but one of the five football games being called off for a second time due to unplayable pitches.
