Croker ‘no’ for NFL finals

THE decision of the Games Administration Committee of the GAA not to play the NFL finals in Croke Park on April 23, has angered a number of county managers.

Without pre-empting the result of Sunday’s semi-final against Mayo in Castlebar, Galway manager Peter Forde said he would be very disappointed at not getting the chance to play in Croke Park should they reach the decider.

“I can understand the semi-final between ourselves and Mayo being played in Connacht, but the final is a national competition and should be played in Croke Park.
