Venues confirmed for Leinster Championship

The Leinster Council has stayed true to the GAA's word that more championship matches should be staged away from Croke Park.

At a meeting of the council last night, it was decided that the majority of Leinster's football and hurling championship matches for 2006 will be held outside of headquarters. Indeed, the only hurling fixture set for the 83,000-capacity Croke Park will be July's final.
