Former Offaly hurler Pat Cleary urges GAA to adopt Clontarf's motion

Led by former Dublin footballer Dr Noel McCaffrey, Clontarf’s proposal would insist players line out in four club league games to be eligible for inter-county championship in the same year. Such a condition would require a redrawing of the current split season model.

Former Offaly hurler Pat Cleary has urged the GAA to adopt Clontarf’s motion to change the composition of the playing calendar and allow all inter-county players line out in club league games.

Cleary’s club Durrow have won just one league game in four years largely owing to their leading players being unavailable due to inter-county commitments.
