Former GAA president Liam O’Neill has launched a robust defence of the Go Games model in light of recent controversy.
Go Games have been in existence for the last 13 years and are typically run on a blitz basis from under-12 down with no competitive or knockout element. The matches are small-sided with all players guaranteed game time and scores not to be published, while trophies should not be presented.
However, with the rule being flouted in places, the GAA sent a notification to clubs recently reminding them that there had been no change to existing policy as well as the sanctions for a breach of rule.
