Micheál Briody: Split season will benefit club players and strengthen GAA

Briody believes the Club Players Association’s move to pull away from the national fixtures review taskforce helped to focus minds

The split season would have taken seven to 10 years to become a reality had the GAA not been forced to implement it last year because of the pandemic, Club Players Association chairman Micheál Briody has said.

As the CPA arranged an executive committee meeting for Monday night to consider winding down after claiming the split season will resolve the fixtures issue, Briody believes the CPA’s move to pull away from the national fixtures review taskforce also focused minds.
