McKaigue: Ulster teams at a disadvantage compared to other provinces 

"It's difficult to know what I'd replace it with but I've put my cards on the table with this one - our system is broken and it needs to be fixed, regardless of how special it was for us on Sunday," said McKaigue.

Ulster title winning Derry captain Chrissy McKaigue is standing over his claim that the provincial system is 'broken'.

The 32-year-old, who has remarkably played in all four league finals throughout a topsy-turvy career with Derry, from divisions 1 to 4, finally experienced a provincial title success on Sunday.
