In doing so, it became the abiding story of the event.
From last weekend, joint or multiple captains will not be permitted on podiums at GAA grounds when a trophy is being handed over.
Why?
GAA Ard Stiúthóir Tom Ryan explained on Saturday that Motion 7 was designed to “tidy up presentation around matches.”
