Second test ‘will be no anti-climax’

THE GAA are confident that Sunday’s second test against Australia in the International Rules Series will not be an anti-climax, despite the hosts’ 77-41 victory at Croke Park.

Marketing manager Dermot Power said that 40,000 tickets had been pre-sold for the game and that he was hopeful for an attendance of around 60,000.

Power said that due to the competition from county championship deciders nationwide, the GAA had targeted a "different audience" to that normally in Croke Park.
