McCague warns county boards to watch funds

Outgoing GAA President Sean McCague has warned county boards around the country to tighten their purse strings or face the consequences.

Figures released on Monday revealed that no fewer than 19 county boards are operating in the red at present.

McCague said: "Basically, county boards need to sit down with the players at the start of the season and say 'this is our budget, now we have to look at ways of working within that'."
