Harte: Play semis off over one weekend

Mickey Harte has called on the GAA to consider hosting both All-Ireland football semi-finals over the same weekend as one of numerous ways to free up the calendar for club games and a rejuvenated Railway Cup.

Harte: Play semis off over one weekend

Harte, who is the subject of tomorrow’s Irish Examiner Big Interview ahead of tomorrow night’s Game for Michaela in Casement Park to raise funds for the Michaela Foundation in memory of his deceased daughter, believes the Football Review Committee should make minimal changes to football and its current championship structure but does advocate some tweaking to the sport’s schedule.

And one of his most interesting proposals is that not only should the Ulster Council play a couple of championship games over the one weekend, but so should Central Council itself when it comes to the All-Ireland semi-final stages in both football and hurling.
