GAC to rule on League semi venues

A DECISION on whether or not to play both Division One NFL semi-finals at Croke Park will be made by the GAC tomorrow night.

That decision will be influenced by the availability of the stadium, following remedial work carried out on the pitch in recent weeks and the sowing of new grass seed.

The GAC won’t know for certain until tomorrow whether or not the stadium will be ready for games. In 2003, Tyrone’s win over Fermanagh and Laois’ victory over Armagh in the last four came on the same day at HQ although only 27,000 spectators witnessed the two contests.
