O’Neill questions counties’ Interpro commitment

GAA president Liam O’Neill hopes the new charity aspect to the M Donnelly Interprovincial series will convince some people to change their minds about the competition.

It was reported yesterday none of the Kildare footballers approached by Leinster manager Pat Gilroy have made themselves available for Sunday’s semi-final against Connacht.

Proceeds from the final between Connacht/Leinster and Ulster/Munster in Croke Park on Sunday week will go the Our Lady’s Children Hospital, Crumlin in a venture which guarantees the future of the competition for the next three years. O’Neill didn’t name any county in particular but suggested there may be one or two managers preventing their players from lining out for the provinces.
