Connolly doesn't see GAA returning any time soon

Cork footballer Luke Connolly has said he cannot envisage a return to GAA action until there is "a vaccine or a drastic change in how the virus is treated”.

October was yesterday identified as the earliest possible start date to the inter-county championships, but if it is a case that there is no return to club activity before then, Connolly’s preference - should health authorities green light the resumption of contact sports in the closing months of 2020 - is for club competitions to be prioritised.
