Limerick’s toss offer for venue

LIMERICK GAA chiefs contacted Croke Park last night offering to toss a coin to decide the venue for their All-Ireland SFC Qualifier against Cork.

Under GAA rules, fourth round Qualifiers are to be played at neutral venues but Shannonside officials would like the game to be played at either the Gaelic Grounds or on Leeside.

Secretary Mike O’Riordan explained: “We have a home and away arrangement for all Munster championship games with Cork but that deal doesn’t include the qualifiers. We would be happy to toss a coin rather that play the game at a neutral venue. But we will have to wait and see what Croke Park and Cork say to that request.”
