The Club Players Association (CPA) have broadly welcomed the GAA’s fixture review taskforce’s endorsement of a split season.

It’s 12 months since the CPA withdrew from the body as they claimed they could not put their names to “a compromised document” compiled by a group who were “a Trojan Horse designed to give cover to GAA authorities to ratify the status quo while having the appearance of consultation and thoughtful deliberation.”
