Limerick, Sligo and Tipperary captains speak against proposed 'Super 8' format

“The most frustrating thing with the whole issue is that it doesn’t seem to address a lot of the inequalities that have developed over the last few years."

The Limerick, Sligo and Tipperary team captains have voiced public opposition to the proposed introduction of a ‘super 8’ format at the quarter-final stage of the All-Ireland senior football championship, writes Jackie Cahill.

The revamp, if voted through at the GAA’s weekend annual congress, will see a round-robin format come into play from 2018, which Sligo skipper Neil Ewing insists is driven more by “economic” than football reasons.
