Burns and McCarthy battle to be next GAA president

Tonight’s battle to become the next GAA president is a two-horse race between Jarlath Burns and Larry McCarthy.

Former Armagh senior football captain Burns is considered a slight favourite ahead of Bishopstown-born and former New York chairman McCarthy, a current trustee of the organisation. Ex-Cork and Munster chairman Jerry O’Sullivan and former Connacht and Leinster chairs Mick Rock and Jim Bolger are the other candidates.
