Mid-July All-Ireland finals and the other GAA fixture review task force recommendations 

The split season calendar drawn up by the task force provides for 13 weekends of exclusive club action from the fourth weekend of July onward

GAA president John Horan said one of the “most positive” developments of this Covid-19 interrupted year was “the decoupling” of the club and inter-county season

Inter-county activity concluding by mid-July is the price to be paid for a club season free of interruption and interference.

That is the final analysis of the GAA’s fixtures calendar review task force, the updated report of the 11-person group recommending a split season model and the playing of the All-Ireland senior finals no later than mid-July.
