Monaghan’s McGonagle plans upset by late throw-in switch

A ROW has erupted over the timing of the weekend’s All-Ireland Ladies SFC quarter-finals.

The games — Monaghan v Meath, Cork v Dublin — were originally fixed for Saturday in Birr at 4pm and 6pm respectively. However, the ties have now been changed to 2pm and 4pm with the games broadcast by TG4.

Monaghan manager Gregory McGonagle last night blasted: “It is very unfair. As a management we are always trying to impress on the girls the importance of attention to detail. We were informed two weeks ago that the game was fixed for Birr at 4.15pm. On Monday morning I received a phone call to say there was a rumour going around that the game was going to be changed.
