Counties hope GAA reverse U21 club decision

Counties are holding out hope that Central Council could soon reverse its interpretation which prevents 16-year-olds turning 17 this year from lining out for the clubs’ U21 teams.

With Tipperary’s U21 football and Limerick’s U21 hurling championship already underway and the likes of Cork and Clare to begin similar competitions shortly, several complaints have been made to Croke Park about the reading of the rule.
