Seeing as all three Ulster counties in their group have already qualified for the Sam Maguire Cup knock-out stages, Monaghan captain Kieran Duffy feels there’s no point complaining about being drawn in a northern-dominated quartet.

The idea of playing more non-Ulster teams in the new championship format greatly appeals to Duffy – Clare on Sunday were the first they faced in the competition – but he doesn’t mind facing the likes of Derry twice and now Donegal the weekend after next.
