In an end of season statement, the Club Players’ Association (CPA) has confirmed their firm and unequivocal support for a “County First” approach to the 2021 Fixtures Programme, currently being considered by Croke Park.
A spokesperson for the group said “There is still great concern and uncertainty around the pandemic, and we are nowhere near what we would consider ‘normal’ condition for training and matches. The health and well being of players and their families absolutely has to be the primary driver in deliberations. Given the numbers involved and the practicalities, not to mention the impact on participation levels and underage games, it is entirely logical that clubs must start after county competitions have concluded.”
