St Vincent's and Dublin star Ger Brennan is 'very much in favour' of plans to play off all club and county fixtures in one calendar year.

Last Saturday the GAA revealed proposals to bring forward the dates of the All-Ireland finals by a week and play the club finals in December and Brennan has given them the thumbs up.

"I'd be very much in favour of getting it done in the one year and having a proper break," he revealed to The Irish Independent.

"You have a break of, whatever, two months - but you don't really mentally. Maybe for a week or two you do, but because you're always thinking of what's going on in the opposition camp and then trying to mind yourself as well . . .

"So I think human beings need a sense of start, middle and finish, switch off and then go again.

"From a player's point of view, it would be great to have that break there. Dessie Farrell was talking recently about putting pockets of club championship fixtures within the county fixture list as well.

"I don't know how well that would work in terms of getting momentum as a club team, but it could work well. Or if you just did them in two different blocks all together - inter-county first and then all the club second and maybe play the club league games during the county season."
