NY set to get cash aid for Croker replay

LADIES Gaelic Football Association officials will meet next week to discuss financial aid to help fund New York’s return trip for the TG4 All-Ireland junior football final replay on Sunday week, October 9.

The LGFA’s Central Council will discuss a proposal from the Association’s management committee that New York should receive assistance as they prepare for a third transatlantic trip within a seven-week timeframe.

New York played Carlow and Wexford in the space of a week last month, before flying back for their drawn final against Wicklow last Sunday. And now the Exiles believe it will cost an estimated $30,000 (€22,000) to get the squad, management and officials back for the rematch with the Garden County at Croke Park.
