Clubs hoping championship revamp will bring ‘certainty’

The managers of two leading senior hurling teams in Cork have praised GAA chiefs for their efforts in improving the plight of club players.

At a time of widespread club player unrest and the Club Players Association (CPA) last week hinting at possible strike if Croke Park continue to pay lip service to the fixtures crisis, Glen Rovers manager Richie Kelleher and Na Piarsaigh joint-manager Bill Kelleher have welcomed the new county championship structure in Cork, which will come into play from 2020, as it provides certainty for the too often maligned club player.
