So yesterday’s decision to finally open up all GAA pitches for adult training from next Wednesday was long overdue. Overall, the GAA still faces huge challenges in the months ahead as they attempt to implement their revised fixtures schedule. In no particular order, the biggest challenges facing the GAA right now are 1) county fixtures, 2) club fixtures and 3) the financial shortfall. Dublin (AIG), Kerry (Kerry Group), Cork (Chill Insurance), Kilkenny (Glanbia) and Tipperary (Teneo) are probably secure, but I wouldn’t be too hopeful about a lot of the other deals. Even before the Covid-19 crisis, we knew that the spend on county training was not sustainable.
