Cody: GAA and semi-professionalism can’t go together

Kilkenny manager Brian Cody has claimed the elitist nature of the inter-county game will create “dangerous possibilities” for the association, warning that the “GAA and semi-professionalism can never go together”.

The changed format of the hurling and football championships brought club activity to a standstill this summer and Cody is concerned those operating at the top-table will soon come to identify themselves, almost exclusively, as inter-county players.
