Cooney tips Thurles to host League final

GAA President Christy Cooney expects the Allianz hurling league final to go ahead in Thurles, despite suggestions that the table toppers might get home advantage.

Cork and Galway are already through to the May 2 final regardless of what happens when they meet in the final round of games on Sunday week at Pearse Stadium.

To invest the game with a meaningful edge it was suggested that the winners of the group could perhaps gain home advantage for the final but Cooney yesterday rubbished that idea.
