Eoghan Cormican Tipp chairman wants later start to championship

Tipperary chairman John Devane believes starting the provincial championships at the beginning of June and restoring the All-Ireland hurling final to its original September slot would improve the plight of the club and inter-county player.

As Tipperary rush through the concluding stages of their hurling and football championships in a bid to meet Munster club deadlines, Devane is cognisant of the need to improve the GAA calendar.
