Slaughtneil’s Brendan Rodgers already eyeing club final double date

Brendan Rodgers says Slaughtneil’s ambition is to give the GAA a St Patrick’s Day problem by reaching both the All-Ireland senior club football and hurling finals on the same day.

The dual defender has called on Croke Park to move one All-Ireland final to Easter Sunday (on April 16) should the record-breaking Derry club reach both deciders scheduled for the showpiece March 17 double-header.

Rogers, who was immense in Sunday’s Ulster football final win over Kilcoo as the completed an historic provincial treble, is one of 12 players lining out in both codes.
