Treaty chiefs exploring new Gaelic Grounds plan

LIMERICK GAA chiefs are disappointed at the lack of high profile games fixed for the Gaelic Grounds and admit to “exploring other avenues to get the stadium as much exposure as possible.’’

Board Secretary Mike O’Riordan, in his report to next week’s convention, said Shannonside officials has called on Croke Park bosses to consider playing more high profile matches in the city ground.

By way of example, he points out that they were passed over for the All-Ireland Under-21 hurling final between Tipperary and Galway (played in Thurles), expressing the Limerick was the ‘most natural’ venue for the game.
