McGill: Senior provincial hurling championships could revert to a knock-out structure

The GAA’s fixtures chief has suggested senior provincial hurling championships could revert to a knock-out structure with a second chance in the qualifiers as a result of the coronavirus lay-off.

Confirming the Roscommon-London Connacht SFC quarter-final was the second in the province to be called off, GAA director of player, club and games administration Feargal McGill this morning said there are as yet no proposed changes to the Championship. He added that if the competition can commence by mid-June there won’t be any changes to the All-Ireland final dates in August.
