Kieran McGeeney believes the new All-Ireland SFC round-robin format has been a resounding success.

McGeeney’s Armagh side topped a very competitive Group 2 after edging out Galway, after which he told reporters: “It’s very hard to know what will keep the people on TV happy. I know what keeps the supporters happy, more games, more competitive games.

“Every game we’ve been in was competitive. A couple of years ago we were complaining that there weren’t enough games. Now we’re saying there’s too many. There was crying about dead rubbers and now there’s no dead rubbers and that is no good either.

“You have to sit back and look at it. In some of the games today, everybody was fighting for every single score. To me, the system is much better. It’s not the leadership of the GAA I’d be giving credit to, the teams have really leaned into it.”
