Railway Cup revival on track with Rules fixture

THE resuscitation of the Railway Cup continued apace yesterday. It was announced that one M Donnelly inter-provincial hurling semi-final will be played as an opener to the second International Rules test in Croke Park next month.

GAA president Sean Kelly is also hopeful that an inter-provincial hurling fixture can be played in Australia next year before one of the International Rules tests. Finance is the only stumbling block as the Australians are extremely keen on the idea.

This year's football final will be played at the Stade Colombes in Paris, on November 13, with over 3,000 expected to attend.
