Horan must embrace CPA

-

A WORD on the current fixture chaos. Last weekend just pinpointed the folly of trying to play so many matches so early. I wish new GAA president John Horan well – he is someone who was hugely supportive of the Faithful Fields project in Offaly and a person I got to know a bit during his time as Leinster chairman.

He has said that he aims to put the club back at the centre of everything which is so important in the associatio­n.

However, the last president talked about doing just the same and it didn’t happen. Instead, it went the other way.

The Club Players Associatio­n have to be listened to and brought into the fold. They are not the enemy. All they are doing is representi­ng the ordinary club player. I hope Horan has a really genuine look at this.
