Big Apple lacks bite after ticket fiasco

NEW YORK’S preparations for Sunday’s FBD Connacht League final against Galway are in turmoil following three management changes in the past month.

Manager Paddy Kearney, who was in charge for over a year, quit his post in September, claiming the County Board refused to provide him with tickets for the All-Ireland final.

His successor Fergus Daly had six days at the helm, before resigning after a row with officials. Seamus Smith, who has been involved with Donegal in recent seasons, is now in charge for the visit of the Tribesmen, but has had only four sessions with his new squad.
