Donegal spokesman Seamus O'Donnell has claimed that the church are behind the GAA's decision to re-fix the county's National League clash with Fermanagh on Easter Sunday.

The game had been originally scheduled for a Saturday night throw-in under lights at Sean McCumhaill Park in Ballybofey.

The GAA's Competition Control Committee did stipulate when the fixture plan was laid out that this fixture was subject to change based on the satisfactory completion of floodlighting at the ground.

Donegal issued a statement on Thursday afternoon stating that the venue would have been fully equipped with lights if the fixture had remained fixed for the Saturday.

"Erection of the floodlighting was on schedule and would have been available on the Saturday night had the fixture been to allowed stand," said O'Donnell.

"We believe the real reason the fixtures were changed, was because the church authorities had requested it.

"It is sad to think that in 2007 the church can still dictate when we play our National games."

I heard today that the Munster Council is going to give Pat O'Shea a one-year leave of absence to take up the Kerry job.

There was a meeting of the Munster Council in Limerick and a separate meeting of the Kerry executive in Tralee last night but haven't read much of what came out of them.

Any one know?

GAA to officially recognise the GPA

Setanta.com

GAA chiefs have indicated that a framework is in the pipeline to formally recognise the GPA as the principal representatives of Senior intercounty players.

Officials from the GAA and the players' body gathered in an historical meeting at Croke Park on Monday night before a joint statement was issued.

"The meeting concentrated on agreeing a framework to facilitate discussions which could potentially lead to formal recognition of the GPA as the principal body representing senior intercounty football and hurling players," read the statement.

The GAA has revealed that this formal recognition will come to fruition during Nickey Brennan's term as GAA President, which runs until April 2009.

Both parties will meet in the coming weeks to set down a document, which will outline the future agreement. A schedule of meetings and a framework for discussions have also been set in stone.

The issue of government-sponsored grants for Senior intercounty panels was also discussed at Monday night's summit.

Both the GAA and the GPA have agreed to await clarification from the Minister for Arts, Sports and Tourism, John O'Donoghue, on issues previously raised by the respective bodies.

A member of a Carlow GAA Club has been banned from the GAA for life, by the Leinster Games Administration Committee, after a club championship game ended in violence two weeks ago.

Brian Farrell Senior, of the Palatine club, has been expelled from the Association under Rule 144, following a meeting of the Leinster GAC on Thursday night.

Palatine's Niall Reid and team manager Michael Lillis were each handed a six-month suspension.

The bans were issued following an ugly end to the Palatine versus Rhode AIB Leinster Club SFC quarter-final on November 5th, which the Offaly side won 1-11 to 2-7.

Westmeath referee Pat Fox was jostled by Palatine's Niall Reid after the full-time whistle before being knocked to the ground by one of the club's spectators at Dr Cullen Park.

The tension arose after the Rosemount official had blown for steps against a Palatine player, who was in a scoring position deep into injury time.

Following that decision two Palatine players - Paul Reid and Brian Farrell Junior- and one man from Rhode - Joe Kilmurray - were issued red cards.

Chiefs in the eastern province considered the referee's report and, after reviewing a DVD recording of the game, dished out six suspensions in all.

Palatine players Brian Farrell Junior and Paul Reid were given 12 and four-week bans respectively, while Rhode footballer Joe Kilmurray received four weeks.

Leinster officials interviewed all of the suspended as well as officers from each club before making their rulings.
