GAA to probe use of Wexford club grounds

CROKE PARK has confirmed that officials have asked the Wexford County Board to report to the Leinster Council on Faythe Harriers’ usage of their all-weather facilities.

For the second time in the space of 12 months, central authorities have reason to believe that a club has allowed non-GAA activity to take place on Association-owned grounds, which would contravene Rule 5.1 of their official code.

Cork football kingpins Nemo Rangers escaped with a reprimand after the Ireland rugby team trained at their Trabeg sports centre last February. Now Croke Park have ordered Wexford’s management committee to explain Harriers’ situation to their provincial body after they received a complaint.
