GPA not giving up on amending training ban

For the second time in a week, GPA chief executive Paul Flynn wrote to members: “A return to inter-county training prior to September 14 once a player’s club championship involvement comes to an end, remains on our agenda.”

The Gaelic Players Association (GPA) aim to convince the GAA to allow players return to county training if their clubs exit their championships before September 14.

Croke Park have refused to permit collective inter-county training take place prior to September 14. Although they don’t intend punishing players or counties who do so, the former will not be insured.
