Cats unhappy with decision

KILKENNY are annoyed with the Games Administration Committee’s decision to fix their NHL semi-final against Tipperary for Thurles on Sunday afternoon.

Given that Tipperary would be agreeable to play the game in Nowlan Park to honour a long-standing agreement there is the possibility that it could still be moved and played in the evening.

The GAC, who met on Sunday night to finalise the arrangements, responded to the criticism by pointing out that they had no firm proposal from the two counties.
