GAA president Jarlath Burns has defended the association’s national fixtures body days after criticism from Donegal manager Jim McGuinness.

Following Sunday’s win over Mayo, the Ulster SFC-winning boss was furious about the decision of the Central Competitions Control Committee to stage that All-Ireland SFC final round group game in Roscommon town’s King & Moffatt Dr Hyde Park.
