Munster chief open to ‘eight-county provinces’ proposal

Munster GAA CEO Kieran Leddy would rather the provinces are redrawn so as to deliver four eight-team provincial football championships than have the provincial competitions diluted by being run off in early spring.

Two of the chief proposals put forward by the fixture calendar review taskforce recommend changing the All-Ireland SFC format, and while Munster boss Leddy did not get behind the league and provincial championship seasons being flipped, he said the suggestion of four eight-county provinces is “certainly worth looking at”.
