GPA - Where have they gone ?

[Eamonnca1]

They've been recognized by the GAA as the official players' representative body.  They're jointly sponsoring the all-stars now, rather than the GPA running their parallel all-stars program as before.  The indignant press releases referring to the GAA as "them" seem to have stopped. I think the financial sh|tstorm has sunk any hopes they might have had for professional player status and they're resigned to acting as a player welfare body.

Off to San Francisco on the All-Star tour.

I wonder how many of the GPA blazers will be going off on that junket.

I'll find out who from the GPA has gone.

Sean Potts who some may remember from here - http://gaaboard.com/board/index.php?topic=9876.6160;wap2 - was over in NY with Ger Brennan & Henry Shefflin in October on a promotion visit. Nice work if you can get it.
