Doireann O'Sullivan excited by prospect of GAA and LGFA merger

The Cork captain believes the merging of the GPA and WGPA will ensure female inter-county players are no longer out of pocket as a result of lining out for their county

Cork ladies football captain Doireann O’Sullivan has said she would have no issue with future All-Ireland senior ladies football finals being played as a curtain-raiser to the men’s All-Ireland senior football final.

The Gaelic Players Association and Women’s Gaelic Players Association yesterday evening merged into one organisation and if a similar merger was to take place between the GAA, LGFA, and Camogie Association, O’Sullivan believes it would lead to an increased number of men’s and women’s double-headers.
