Disaster averted but iceberg of discontent has not melted

The dispute between Kildare and the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) regarding the venue for their round 3 qualifier fixture against Mayo has been resolved.

From the moment the qualifier draw was made, Kildare were adamant that they are entitled to play the match in Newbridge.

And yet within hours, the CCCC had fixed the game as part of a double-header at Croke Park and appeared equally unyielding.
