Ladies lead the way by slashing price of All-Ireland tickets

THE Ladies Gaelic Football Association has taken the lead amongst Irish sporting organisations by reducing the admission price to Sunday’s TG4 All-Ireland finals by 20% for supporters of the six participating counties.

The association has developed a well deserved reputation for innovation, with the sin bin, clean pick up off the ground and especially the use of a match clock admired by many Gaelic games observers.

The rule adopted by the GAA this year, whereby the team in possession restarts the game if play is stopped to allow an injured player to receive treatment, also originated in ladies football.
