Leinster in O’Byrne Cup conundrum

The Leinster Council are struggling to find a date to re-fix the Bord na Mona O’Byrne Cup final, a game potentially worth €40,000 to the province’s injured players fund.

The decider between Kildare and DCU was called off yesterday due to a waterlogged pitch in Newbridge’s St Conleth’s Park.

The Leinster Council asked Kildare to look at rearranging the game for this evening in either Portlaoise or Parnell Park (Newbridge doesn’t have floodlights).
