Donegal star Ryan McHugh says he’s relishing the opportunity to play in a knock-out All-Ireland senior football championship.
The Ulster champions are set to face Tyrone in a crunch provincial quarter-final meeting on November 1st and, speaking on Off The Ball, McHugh is looking forward to what is sure to be a high intensity encounter in Ballybofey.
"Change can be good sometimes," he suggested, "(and while) I’m not saying we should keep this format in the long-term, I’m really looking forward to seeing how it works.
"My father at home always told me anyway that football was a lot better in his day."
On the resumption of the 2020 inter-county next weekend, the Kilcar man added: “It’s what you want as a player, it’s just loads and loads of games. You can train all you want but it’s games that you want to be playing and we’re getting the chance to play week in week out from now on.
"For a while during the summer it looked like we might not get any football so I think the GAA deserve huge credit to have run a very good club championship and now looking like they’re going to run an inter-county championship.
"It’s great, we’re really looking forward to it."
