Review set to urge U19 as only inter-county under-age grade

A talent academy review is expected to recommend U19 become the only inter-county under-age grade.

A group commissioned by GAA president John Horan envisages streamlining the under-age grades across the board — U13, U15, and U17 — with the latter turning into a developmental competition where the majority of counties provide more than one team, as is the case with hurling’s successful Celtic Challenge.
