GAA club under fire as soccer tribute refused
The GAA said Rule 42 precluded both soccer and rugby being played in its grounds, even though the local soccer club has paid to use the hurling club’s all weather pitches for a number of years.
Ironically, on the night soccer club officials were told that the tournament was off, some of their youth teams were using the pitches at Sarsfield Hurling Club in Glanmire, Co Cork.
