‘No brainer’ to move Walsh Cup final to Croke Park
And the novel move could pay off on the double as poor weather may have made the original venue, Parnell Park, unplayable anyhow. Leinster champions Dublin had been scheduled to host Brian Cody’s Kilkenny at their Donnycarney base tomorrow once both sides reached the decider. But the decision was quickly taken to bring the early season glamour tie forward to the under card of this evening’s Allianz Football League opener between Dublin and Kerry.
It’s a move that Horan estimated could add on around 5,000 to the crowd at GAA Headquarters. It may also ensure that the game actually goes ahead because with a poor weather forecast there’s every chance Parnell Park may have been unplayable, like it was for Dublin’s opener with UCD.
