Straight knockout championship planned for autumn

Clare senior football manager Colm Collins criticised the call to keep pitches closed for almost another 11 weeks.

Clare football coach Colm Collins: "I’m disappointed about the pitches being closed. I think it would be very easy to enforce social distancing and allow lads to kick and puck as much as they wanted to."

A straight knock-out Championship is on the cards should the inter-county season recommence in October.
