Cian O’Neill blasts call to move Kildare game

Kildare manager Cian O’Neill has hit out at the decision to move Kildare’s Leinster championship game with Wexford forward eight days, claiming he had not been consulted about the proposal.

The tie has been switched from May 29 to May 21 due to the Bruce Springsteen concert at Croke Park.

O’Neill’s remarks are at odds with GAA claims that all teams involved in the realignment — Dublin and Wexford hurlers have also had their game moved — were happy to accommodate the switch.
