Kerry chairman Patrick O’Sullivan has criticised plans to do away with the Allianz Football League finals.

Central Council on Saturday will vote on a proposal by the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) to disband the deciders of the secondary competition but retaining the hurling finals. The rationale behind the move is to create a two-week gap between the competition and the start of the provincial football championships.
