"For years you hear ‘it’s only the League, everything will come right by the championship’ but nowadays the League is so competitive," Spillane said on Allianz League Sunday. "Look at last year’s excellent League performances – Clare, won Division 3, got into the (All-Ireland) quarter-finals, Tyrone, won Division 2, won the Ulster championship.
