Tipp fight for share of football qualifier spoils

THE Tipperary county board are bidding to overturn a decision by the GAA not to issue them a share of the All-Ireland SFC qualifier revenues.

Croke Park yesterday announced more than €2 million of revenue from the qualifier system will be paid to counties who participated in this year’s hurling and football championships.

However, since Tipperary withdrew from the football qualifiers prior to their meeting with Fermanagh, Croke Park bosses ruled they were not entitled to any money. Tipperary say they were entitled to €37,000.
