On the latest episode of the GAA Hour Colm Parkinson was speaking about the Masters and how he would like to get involved:
“I got a text a couple of months ago from Dannie Doogue," Parkinson said. "Dannie Doogue was a great Laois minor back in ’95 when I was gracing the minor fields but the text was ‘Wooly, make sure you’re ready for next year, we’ll all be 40. The 96’ minors we’re going to in for this Masters thing’. "So, I was thinking that’d be nice to get back with all the lads to play in this and then you kind of read this that it’s just a bit of a farce of a competition that the GAA don’t even recognise it even though they’re bringing hurling teams over to Fenway Park for a bastardised hurling game and they’re doing the same bringing it to Australia. "They won’t sanction an over 40’s competition with players that have represented their counties with distinction and when you hit 40 to be able to almost have a reunion with all the lads you played with and go one more time against over 40’s, I think it’s a beautiful thing."(Feature image credit: Mayo Gaelic Masters) https://soundcloud.com/sportsjoe-gaa-hour/zach-tuohy-david-breen-interviews-denis-bastic-love-gpa-wages
