Capacity crowd for Connacht decider

CONNACHT GAA chiefs are preparing the ‘full house’ signs ahead of Sunday’s provincial football final between Mayo and Roscommon at Hyde Park.

The first meeting of the sides in the Connacht decider since 2004 has captured the imagination of supporters in both counties and a crowd of approximately 30,000 is predicted.

The Roscommon venue can cater for just over 33,000 fans and ticket sales have been so brisk that organisers can’t rule out a sold out fixture.
