Cooney: Croker pitch will be fine

GAA President Christy Cooney is confident that preparatory work for two music concerts, which includes the removal of the top surface of the pitch, will have no impact on pitch conditions for upcoming Championship matches at Croke Park.

Take That will hold two concerts at the Jones's Road venue next week - on Saturday, June 18 and Sunday, June 19 - and work on the pitch commenced today.
