Cooney rows in behind Kettle

by Oli Skehan , 02 October 2011

Determined to wind up his GAA presidency with a bang, Christy Cooney has rowed in behind a suggestion made by Dublin county chairman Andy Kettle that the All-Ireland finals should be brought forward a month to August to free up time for club championships.


"There is certain merit in that," the Youghal native told RTE on Saturday.

"It will get consideration. Maybe in that type of situation we'd be able to run off our club championships in a calendar year... It will be discussed."

Central Council is shortly expected to receive a report from the national fixtures planning committee which could recommend restricting the time-span of the marquee competitions.
