Motion one of five proposals that will be tabled in Portlaoise this weekend
A motion will go before the GPA’s Annual General Meeting on Saturday calling for the preseason intercounty competitions to be discontinued.
The motion on the pre-season competitions has been submitted by the GPA’s National Executive Committee, and if backed by the association’s membership it would increase the spotlight on the practicalities of continuing with the likes of the O’Byrne Cup, McKenna Cup, FBD League, McGrath Cup, Munster SHL, and Walsh Cup.
“Starting competitive games in early January does not facilitate an effective graduated increase in training load, ahead of the League. Driving pressure to return to training before the official sanctioned date and increasing cumulative demand on players across the calendar year.”, while three years ago GAA’s Fixtures Task Force Calendar Review Committee also called for them to be abolished.
The motion states: “Players propose that the GPA call on GAA/LGFA/Camogie Association for improved injury coverage, addressing the inadequacy of the current insurance in safeguarding inter-county players from financial loss.”
