The Down senior football squad have issued a statement denying reports that they had voted to oppose any GPA strike action.
Reports claimed that the panel met yesterday where the squad voted 35-2 against taking strike action, should the current dispute between the GAA and GPA come to that.
However, the panel insist those reports are untrue.
A statement released on behalf of the players said: 'The Down football squad supports the majority decision of the GPA strike ballot and while, like all other players, we hope that this action can be averted, we will be supporting the GPA stand.'
