BBC Radio Ulster - Sportsound Extra Time, 13/01/2020

Nikki Gregg and the sports panel discuss the biggest stories making the back pages. 

With schedule clashes and player unavailability, is it time to restructure the GAA calendar? Former Down footballer Danny Hughes is in studio. 

With Linfield having to wait nine long days to rid themselves of that shock defeat to Queen's and Glentoran enjoying a short spell at the top of the table, we catch up with the Belfast Telegraph's Group Sports Editor, Jim Gracey, to find out all the goings-on in the Irish Premiership.

Donegal having to forfeit their place in the McKenna Cup semi-finals due to player unavailability has brought the issue of scheduling conflicts in the GAA to the forefront once again. We ask is it time for a re-think when it comes to the McKenna Cup? We hear from former Down footballer Danny Hughes and Gaoth Dobhair's Eamon McGee.

And Thomas Niblock catches up with Ulster captain Iain Henderson ahead of another 6 Nations campaign.
