Prepare for the unpredictable by making game extension of warm-up

As the weeks roll on in both the hurling and football championships, the excitement levels will also build. The odd unpredictable result will keep everyone keenly interested from one week to the next.

From a fan’s perspective that unpredictability is exciting and within the administration offices of the GAA it may be a significant factor in sticking with such an archaic competition structure that has such disparity in qualification routes across the provinces. An outsider looking in must be left scratching their heads as to how teams in the Ulster and Connacht Championship are supposed to be playing for the same ultimate prize.
