The Club Players Association has announced that it has dissolved as their aim of ‘Fixing the Fixtures’ is complete following the GAA’s decision to go with a split season model.

They proposed many fixture solutions but withdrew from then GAA President John Horan s Fixtures TaskForce in 2019 when they claimed it was set-up to merely ratify the status quo .
