GAA pull plug on Dublin’s plans for Friday night lights

THE GAA last night put the kibosh on Dublin’s plans to stage a first ever Allianz League game on a Friday.

Pat Gilroy’s footballers were set to take on Mayo on Friday, March 18 after a re-fixture paved the way for Mayo to agree to the game being switched from the original Sunday, March 20 date.

However, the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee rejected Dublin’s request to move the round 5 clash to the Friday, citing a number of reasons.
