Darren Hughes urges GAA to alter championship calendar

Monaghan’s Darren Hughes has called for the GAA to “start from scratch” when it comes to revamping their championship structures.

Director general Páraic Duffy’s proposal for a revamped football championship, which would see a group format introduced at the quarter-final stage, is set to go before Congress next month.

While Hughes expressed mixed emotions over Duffy’s plans, the Monaghan forward insisted the current calendar must be altered in some way.
