Daly calls for golf greenkeeper solution to ‘concrete’ Croker

PROFESSIONAL golf green-keepers should be brought in by the GAA authorities to oversee the condition of the Croke Park pitch, claimed Clare manager Anthony Daly, after his side trounced Wexford in yesterday’s All-Ireland SHC quarter-final.

“The field is lovely to look at. It is a delight to walk on it but underneath it’s like concrete.

“Colin Lynch fell and hurt himself and other players were sliding all around the place. We tried all different kinds of studs but none seem to work. The ground has to be examined and put in proper order before the semi-finals,” said Daly.
