Cork GAA secretary Kevin O’Donovan has hit back at television pundits making “grand statements” about the split season, warning that pushing back the inter-county season to August or September would significantly impact on club activity.

The split season has been a feature of discussion on RTÉ’s The Sunday Game across recent weekends, with O’Donovan calling out those who are making “big, simple” comments about the All-Ireland finals being returned to September.
