The GPA have released an open letter from the 68 captains of the male senior inter-county teams expressing support for the stance taken by the ladies football and camogie sides.

The female players have been staging protests calling for the implementation of an agreed charter that would improve their lot in terms of expenses, welfare and the administration of their games.
