GAA to review qualifier format

GAA officials are to review the qualifier format in the hurling and football championships which has proven so controversial in recent weeks.

Games Administration Committee chairman Tony O'Keeffe yesterday acknowledged there are inequalities in the present system, whereby not all teams are forced to play six days after losing in their provincial championship.

But O'Keeffe stressed the GAC are 'tied' into a fixtures schedule adopted towards the end of last year.
