GPA awards won't be cocked up this year, says Farrell

Gaelic Players Association Chief Executive, Dessie Farrell, has swatted suggestions another Player of the Year cock-up is imminent.

Last year the GPA informed Galway's Padraig Joyce that he had won the award only to officially name wing-back Declan Meehan on their awards night.

This year there's a €20,000 Seat car up for grabs for the winner so there can be no mistakes.

Farrell said: "We can give an absolute guarantee that the tightest regulations will apply, including having an independent observer at the count."
