No desire to ‘fix fixtures’

IT’S hard to imagine that there’s a real appetite to ‘fix the fixtures’ in the GAA.

Next year football introduces the Super 8 format and the hurling brethren want equality to introduce extra games in the Championship

There is also the suggestion of the current League structure being overhauled.

Hurling’s spring schedule is already quite bloated as is evidenced in a knock-out stage that bizarrely mixes teams from the first and second tiers in order to facilitate a quarter-final lineup. Despite winning one of five matches in the second division, Offaly, conceivably, could still land the second highest honour in the game.
