The head of the GAA’s former minor review group believes tomorrow’s Congress will find it “exceptionally hard” to find consensus on the under-age grades.

Micheál Martin, current Wexford chairman who also served on the national fixtures review task force, is speaking in relation to the Central Council motion to make U19 the new minor level at county level, which would replace U17 and U20, and a number of clubs’ proposals for U18 to return as the minor grade.
