Munster chief Simon Moroney concerned at provincial proposals

Munster Council chief executive Simon Moroney has expressed strong reservations over a proposal to bring forward the provincial football championships to mid-April.

The GPA last week unveiled its blueprint for reforming the All-Ireland SFC, and at the centre of their submission is the recommendation to run off the provincial championships over a five-week period between mid-April and mid-May.

An eight-group All-Ireland series would then kick in during June and July, the traditional home of the provincial competitions.
