Football Review Committee member and former Mayo manager James Horan has hit out at the decision to get rid of pre-season competitions for the 2025 season.

Last month, delegates decided to scrap all pre-season competitions on a one-season trial basis. There will then be a review to see if their removal should be made permanent.
