GPA CEO Tom Parsons has said it is the responsibility of GAA president Larry McCarthy and director general Tom Ryan to convince Ulster counties that the provincial competitions won’t be left behind in a league-based championship.

Despite Proposal B failing to receive the required 60% backing at Special Congress today, Parsons is adamant that a league-based championship must remain at the core of football championship reform.
