Declan Browne: Tipperary right to oppose Pauric Duffy plans

Tipperary’s new U21 boss Declan Browne has backed the county board’s decision to shoot down proposed new senior football championship proposals.

Premier County chiefs announced on Wednesday evening that they will not be supporting the revamp put forward by GAA Director General Pauric Duffy.

Tipp reached the All-Ireland semi-finals for the first time in 81 years this season but with a round-robin system proposed for the quarter-final stage, Browne feels the chances of a repeat performance would be diminished. Instead, he believes that a round-robin system could be introduced earlier in the season, in April or May, and fulfil an appetite for more games.
