Cats want return to September slot for All-Ireland final

By attempting to convince the GAA to move both All-Ireland finals back to September, Kilkenny are aiming to create a new pocket of space for club championship fixtures at the height of summer.

A motion proposed by O’Loughlin Gaels, calling for the Central Council to have the power to stage the finals on or before the third Sunday in September, is listed as the last of the 40 proposals to be debated in Congress in Wexford on Saturday week.
