Dublin football semi-final postponed due to pitch

MORE woes for Dublin GAA chiefs. Last night’s Evening Herald Dublin SFC semi-final between St Vincent’s and Na Fianna due to be played in Parnell Park was postponed as the ground was declared unplayable by ground-staff.

Ironically this is the second postponement of the semi-final as an objection by the St Oliver Plunkett’s/ Eoghan Ruadh club into the eligibility of Na Fianna player Gary Mullins forced the game to be called-off last week.

The Navan Road outfit have decided against any further appeals after their objections to the Dublin GAC and the Leinster Council were both thrown out.
