‘No logic’ to Ulster SFC revamp

Mattie McGleenan says there is “no logic” to the Ulster Council’s revamp of their provincial senior football championship.

The Ulster GAA Competitions Control Committee has decided that from 2020, teams drawn in the preliminary round won’t have to play in it again for the following two years.

It’s an attempt to introduce a fairer system as it’s traditionally been seen as a major hindrance to be pitted into the provincial opener. Only four teams have come via that route to win the Anglo Celt.
