GPA's Farrell to assume Central Council role

GPA (Gaelic Players Association) chief executive Dessie Farrell has been nominated to assume the role of the Players' Representative on the GAA's Central Council.

Farrell, a 1995 All-Ireland and All-star winner with the Dublin footballers, is seen as an ideal replacement for ex-Armagh skipper Jarlath Burns, who stepped down from the position in 2003.
