Challenges remain to finish GAA fixtures within calendar year

GAA president John Horan has said the hurling and football championships could run into 2021, but Anthony Daly believes that “would be a disaster.”

Questions remain about completing games in time to start afresh in 2021.

Completing the Allianz League group stages may yet form part of the GAA’s inter-county return to play roadmap, which is now expected to be revealed this month.

While the GAA launched its overall plan for a safe return to play last week, its Covid-19 Advisory Group is now preparing a ‘Return to Play’ template for inter-county players. A format and schedule for the 2020 inter-county calendar could follow.
