Cooney 'extremely disappointed' by pitch invasion

GAA President Christy Cooney has expressed his disappointment over the mass pitch invasion which prevented the trophy presentation for yesterday's All-Ireland SHC final at Croke Park taking place on the pitch, as planned.

Just as the final preparations were being made for the pitch presentation, thousands of spectators broke past stewards and streamed onto the pitch leaving officials with little option but to move the presentation to its regular spot in the Hogan Stand, where victorious Kilkenny captain Michael Fennelly received the Liam MacCarthy Cup.
