Declan Bogue IN A STRONGLY worded statement, the Gaelic Player’s Association have come out against the potential reinstatement of the Gaelic football pre-season competitions.

In a statement, they said; ‘If the pre-season competitions are reintroduced on January 2nd, the return-to-training date would need to be moved from December 7th to as early as November 16th. ‘Unfortunately, the players’ voice seems to have been disregarded in this proposed motion, raising concerns about attitudes towards player welfare and proper recovery time.

It continued, ‘Additionally, we strongly urge consideration for student-athletes, who will already be balancing academic pressures, including exams, alongside their participation in the Sigerson and Fitzgibbon Cup competitions in January.
