Neil McManus believes player protests could take place during this year’s National Leagues after the GAA decided to continue its relationship with Allianz.

The former Antrim hurler was one of around 800 current and former inter-county players to sign a petition urging the GAA to end its ties with the insurance company. The petition was launched after a UN report highlighted financial links between Allianz and Israel's war in Gaza.
