Provincial pitch invasions next to be hit
President Christy Cooney yesterday revealed that it will be a priority next summer to end the practice of fans encroaching onto pitches around the country and also that the erection of the barrier at the Hill 16 end was critical to the success on Sunday.
“We will be looking now at the provincial grounds and how we can manage that, to move it forward. We said we would start in Croke Park and try to develop it there. The barrier helped enormously on Sunday and I think people respected that as well because we had very few people who tried to get over it.
