A two-week gap between the All-Ireland senior hurling and football finals would be a positive promotional move by the GAA, according to Ulster chief executive Brian McAvoy.

In his annual report to Ulster convention which takes place on January 16, the Down native wrote in favour of the proposal to move the All-Ireland football final to the 32nd Sunday of the year from 2027. It would push the end of the inter-county season into August.
