Former Roscommon manager Kevin McStay has suggested that the chaos of the Covid-19 pandemic might have presented the GAA with a chance to ‘fix the fixtures’.

Speaking to RTÉ Radio 1's Saturday Sport, McStay says he has been happy to see the forced delay of this year’s All-Ireland championship give the club game a chance to shine.

"The exposure has been dramatic for the club game. I've been watching two or three games every weekend, streaming games on TV... marvelous games, a great advertisement for it,” said the Mayo man.

"The fine details seem to stack up. I won’t say the Fixtures Review Taskforce have the complete solution in front of them but they certainly have the bones of it.

"The momentum, the GAA, the GPA, the CPA and the GAA public seem to feel, yes, this is very much worth giving it a real trial run for two or three years and let’s fix the fixtures once and for all.

"The chaos of the pandemic perhaps has allowed them to see the solution right in front of them."
