Drom won a munster championship doing that 
Bar 1 or two games - Most intercounty teams are all at it.

What’s the point of April for club players? Even if you got one round of club championship in, the next round is probably going to be July maybe August.
Its insane and solves nothing.
No championship till middle of august.
Cork which has huge dual issues got everything played this year. If they tidied it up and dropped replays they’d have no hassle.
Surely no county has it as hard or convoluted as Cork
Sunday July 15th:
All-Ireland Senior Hurling Quarter-Finals (Replay 21/22.07.2018)
All-Ireland Senior Football Quarter Finals Phase 1 (2 Games – Páirc an Chrócaigh)
The World Cup final kicks off at 4pm. 
Wonder what way the tv coverage will work out for the championship.
Four championship hurling matches on the same weekend. 2 in Leinster & 2 in Munster.
Will they play one match every weekend on a Saturday night at 7pm that will be televised? With the other three on Sunday, one live on TV at 2pm and another live at 4pm?
yep, rather than tackle the power of the inter county manager do away with a few replays they have gone about reinventing the whole shebang
Dublin piss their way through leinster in football every year. could easily have slotted a round or two of the county championship during the summer
however now that these new formats are in place, I am looking forward to them ! a few tweeks would have done though

They have changed nothing.
I know the CPA have no time for them.
Now if they have the numbers or not yet is hard to know.
So will all Ireland club finals be in calendar year?
Jesus christ, that’s cat. The first week of the Super 8s should be the most important
