Duffy underlines US eligibility for inter-county players

GAA director general Paraic Duffy has underlined that GAA inter-county players who want to play in GAA competitions in North America (NACB) this summer - in either hurling or football - can only do so if they hold a valid, current J1 visa and a separate J1 sanction.

An e-mail sent by Tony Watene of the Games department on Thursday night on behalf of the Director General, reminded County Board officials of a ruling passed at this year's GAA Congress.
