Scrap the league, says Dublin’s Gavin

Jim Gavin has called for the National Football League to be scrapped as part of his vision for a new inter-county calendar.

The Dublin boss believes the game’s secondary competition has “served its purpose” and would prefer to see the Championship extended to a Champions League format as the guarantee of two games is not enough for players.

Gavin also wants the club championships given their own slot in the calendar from September onwards following the conclusion of inter-county activity.
