Keaney is keen for Croker

DUBLIN forward Conal Keaney believes the GAA should play more of the capital’s NFL games at Croke Park.

Tyrone and Dublin meet under the lights of HQ for the second time in three seasons when they kickstart the league campaign in front of over 82,000 on Saturday week. But Pat Gilroy’s men will then play their remaining home fixtures in Parnell Park.

The Donnycarney venue has a capacity of 10,000 – which has rarely been threatened during previous spring campaigns – but the GAA has never marketed other league games with anything like the same vigour with which they have approached the two Dublin-Tyrone ties.
