Maher: Tighter hurling championship schedule is a must

Tipperary captain Pádraic Maher says the scheduling of the All-Ireland senior hurling championship, not the format, is a concern.

As GAA convene a Special Congress in Croke Park on Saturday largely to debate motions to alter the competition as well as the U21 and minor inter-county grades, Maher believes there is little wrong in how the senior championship looks at the moment.

However, the Thurles Sarsfields man reckons a tighter championship schedule is a must.
