The GAA are expected the announce the proposed changes to the senior championship later this afternoon.

Reports suggest that among the proposed changes are plans to abolish All-Ireland quarter-finals – and replace them with two groups of four competing in a round-robin competition to reach the semi-finals.

The provincial championships and qualifier system would continue unchanged, while replays are also set to be scrapped.

Changes have also been proposed to the League format, with semi-finals also getting chopped from the roster.

We’ll have more on this as more information is released later this afternoon.
