Creedon can see sense in restructuring All-Ireland

Eighteen points separated Cork from Limerick on Saturday and the margin was just one less between Kerry and Tipperary yesterday: all in all then not the greatest of weekends for the much-maligned Munster SFC.

Kerry and Cork have long drawn envious glances from counties in Leinster and, in particular, Ulster where double-digit victories are about as rare as hen’s teeth, but it is hard to say whether anyone benefits from the landslides seen this weekend.

Munster may be the most frequent transgressor but Tipp manager Peter Creedon believes there is a wider pattern developing in football and one that requires a cultural shift in how we structure and see the entire All-Ireland.
