Extra substitutes could be extended to this year’s Championship.

As the Irish Examiner reported last week, the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) were set to propose additional replacements in the Allianz Leagues to combat injuries and lack of squad development due to the truncated season. However, there is now consideration being given to also allowing seven substitutes in the Championship as well.
