Hurlers won’t echo Jim Gavin’s pitch complaints

Jim Gavin appeared to be less than pleased with aspects of the Croke Park pitch on Saturday evening but questions over the surface’s quality were met with some puzzlement by the hurling fraternity yesterday.

The Dublin manager was seen inspecting an area of the pitch near Hill 16 prior to his side’s Super 8 defeat of Cork two days ago and in the wake of the recent Westlife concerts at the venue.
