‘Super 8’ gets thumbs down from CPA

Members of the Club Players Association (CPA) have given an overwhelming thumbs-down to the Super 8 feature that will form the All-Ireland senior football championship for at least three years from next season.

In a survey conducted by the the-newly formed Association almost 61% of the 4,983 respondents said they were opposed to the round-robin structure, which will replace the All-Ireland quarter-finals with two groups of four meaning eight additional games.

Only 12.1% endorsed the Super 8 with almost 28% stating they were not sure about it.
