Kilkenny great DJ Carey has come out strongly against the GAA’s new split season, insisting it “doesn’t make sense” to have the All-Irelands over by late July.

Next year’s All-Ireland football final will be on July 24, a week after the hurling decider, with club activity kicking in for the rest of the year.
