Roscommon boss not happy with silence on inter-county return

Roscommon manager Anthony Cunningham says a lack of communication from Croke Park and government bodies is impacting pre-season preparations.

Inter-county Gaelic games is not scheduled to return until the country is at level three of the living with covid-19 regulations.

The GAA is hoping it will receive clarity on a potential return to inter-county activity by the end of the month, inter-county managers working towards April fifth as a return date with inter-county training allowed in level four.

"It’s a bit disappointing" Cunningham told RTE Sport. "The uncertainty is the biggest problem. They said, Croke Park and the bodies in government that control it, that we would review it in early April.

That would be a plus, but silence doesn’t help the matter” added Cunningham.

"There hasn’t been any mention of reviewing dates. The players are working away on their own, wondering if they can get back. There is no answer yet. We are just hoping and praying we can get back.

"We live in a pandemic, it is really dangerous times, but we feel right across the GAA community that inter-county should get back."
