McGeeney: lift Croker training ban

KIERAN McGEENEY has called for an end to the ban on pre-match training sessions at Croke Park.

Kildare go forward to the Leinster football final next month having played all three of their games in provincial venues, unlike their opponents who reached the same stage with victory at HQ yesterday.

Croke Park chiefs accommodated teams playing at the stadium for some time after the reconstruction and new pitch were completed but have since stopped the practice for all GAA sides.
