Open GAA pitches to help people’s mental health, pleads Davy Fitzgerald

Davy Fitzgerald does not believe the GAA authorities are giving enough consideration to the mental health of its members by keeping pitches closed.

Voicing his support for the inter-county scene to return ahead of club competitions on the grounds of safety, the Wexford and Sixmilebridge manager also called on Croke Park to allow clubs to open fields as soon as possible.
