BOTH THE WOMEN’S Gaelic Players Association (WGPA) and the male equivalent, GPA, held extraordinary general meetings this evening while voting to merge into a single entity.
100% of GPA delegates and 96% of WGPA delegates voted in favour of joining player bodies to form a 4,000-strong association to cover all inter-county GAA players.
The new association held its first meeting after the separate EGM votes and established a Transitional National Executive Committee (TNEC), which will convene in January before holding an AGM in the second quarter of next year in order to elect a national executive committee with male and female members proportionally represented.

That’s a strong side and Porch is to be preferred at 15 ahead of TOH anyway. Surprising to see McAllister and Dillane not in the 23 as they would you’d imagine be in the reckoning for the Irish squad. They must be injured I guess.
@David Finn: I think Dillane failed a HIA in one of the matches after the restart? Might still be recovering
@Donogh O’Laighin: he did fail HIA so wasn’t available. Hopefully connacht get the season off to a good start but Glasgow team is very strong
