GPA members suggest six amendments to the Hurling Championship Proposals 2018-2020

Following an extensive consultation process involving all inter-county hurling squads on the GAA's Hurling Championship proposals 2018-2020, detailed feedback has allowed the GPA to submit specific amendments to the CCCC, as required by Croke Park, before today's deadline.

The amendments were drafted by the GPA Competition Structure Reform Committee after an exhaustive discussion with inter-county hurlers. The GPA are satisfied that there will be no negative impact on club games while the suggestions will also promote the development of hurling in lower tiered hurling counties.

Christy Ring, Nicky Rackard and Lory Meagher Cup suggestions:

The GPA are satisfied that the main objectives of the GAA's original proposal for change will not be impacted by these suggestions.

We await the CCCC's final proposal for Special Congress on September 30, 2017 and recommend that the views of our members should be considered with great importance.
