Tomas Corrigan says it's time to get rid of the GAA's archaic championship format.

With the traditional provincial competitions seemingly becoming less and less relevant, the Fermanagh attacker says it's time for the Association to effect some radical change:

"These conversations have been going on for years, and they're falling on deaf ears," he told RTÉ's GAA Podcast Jones' Road. "When are they ever going to change it?

"It's this archaic system that's been in place from the 1800s. There's been no change bar the back-door, which favours the bigger teams.

"There has to be a serious change because the lads in the weaker counties just aren't going to bother. There's no carrot for them there any more."
