Emlyn Mulligan wants rethink to make championship more attractive

Leitrim star Emlyn Mulligan has stressed the need for a tiered All-Ireland football championship to make the game more appealing to players from developing counties.

Mulligan, who misses Sunday’s clash with London in Ruislip having incurred a third cruciate injury, says games between Division 4 teams like Leitrim and the Exiles are exciting because they are of similar strength and stature.

However, he argues the idea of a Division 4 side beating a top-flight one is a futile hope and it has to be realised in the structure of the championship.
