Inter-county footballers have been instructed by the Gaelic Players Association (GPA) not to give interviews to the media after this weekend’s games as they raise awareness of a delay in expenses.

Some counties have been told players will not co-operate in promoting the games outside of participating in them. The move comes as the GPA warned yesterday that “until every player is paid their expenses for all collective sessions, there will be action by players in response”.
