Anti-grants group calls meeting

A further meeting to rally support against the introduction of player grants will be held in county Cavan next Wednesday.

A spokesman said that GAA members would be given another opportunity to express their views on the "massive shift in association policy".

Last week's meeting in Toome attracted over 300 and all speakers made clear their opposition to the deal.

Wednesday's meeting will take place at the Cavan Crystal Hotel in Cavan Town.

One of the main organisers of the meeting in Toome, Mark Conway, announced this week that he was standing down from Club Tyrone, which raises funds for county teams in the Red Hand County, in protest at the grants deal.

On Thursday, it was revealed that Donal McAnallen had stood down as secretary of the GAA's Higher Education Council because of similar misgivings about the agreement with the Gaelic Players Association.
