Coronavirus could see GAA split season in 2021, says CPA's Micheál Briody

CPA chairman Micheál Briody: ‘Covid isn’t going to be gone next year so they might have to run the inter-county season from week six or whatever it is.’

The GAA may be forced into trialling the split season next year because of Covid-19, according to Club Players Association (CPA) chairman Micheál Briody.

It is Briody’s belief that the possibility of cross-team contamination during the club month of April when many county players train with their counties and play with their club could compel the GAA to introduce two separate blocks of championship fixtures.
