Galway chairman Noel Treacy: “We’re a big dual county with over 80 clubs and it’s a major challenge to manage. It’s a challenge but if the county teams play well it ups the standard in the clubs and we would say it is a dual pressure point. But we have to take that as a positive.”
Leitrim secretary Diarmuid Sweeney: “Last year we had a break in the league preceded by a bye which gave us an opportunity to play club league games. We progressed well in the championship and were in it two-three weeks longer than normal but our fixtures only finished up a week later.
