Replay will guarantee GAA near €2.8m windfall
In what is the first Saturday decider replay since the 2000 football clash between Kerry and Galway, the fixture at Croke Park will take place a day before the All-Ireland Ladies football finals at the same venue.
The Ladies games were moved to October last year to accommodate the replay between Kilkenny and Galway. However, in keeping with GAA president Liam O’Neill’s ambitions to strengthen the Association’s links with one of its sister organisations, it was decided their final would be set in stone. But there are concerns coverage of the Cork-Monaghan game will be dwarfed by the replay.
