McGill hits out at critics of scheduling

GAA director of games administration and player welfare, Feargal McGill, says he cringes when he hears “simplistic criticisms” of the association’s championship fixtures scheduling.

Twelve football games are down for decision this Saturday and Sunday as opposed to one last weekend.

While acknowledging there are an uneven amount of games over the two weekends, McGill argues it’s a by-product of necessary long-term fixture scheduling.
