The GAA have come up with a fresh proposal to solve the controversial minor grade issue.
GAA chiefs have faced widespread opposition to the under-17 grade with many members feeling it's too soon for players to go senior and that minor level should return to under-18.
Now it has emerged that counties will have the option of reverting to even-numbered underage competitions (U-18/16/14/12) and still have players in their 18th year eligible for adult level.
