No point in dragging Cork to Longford for dead rubber, says Pádraic Davis

The Longford manager believes staging such dead rubbers gives “naysayers” ammunition to criticise the GAA for continuing with the inter-county season

Longford manager Pádraic Davis sees no reason why their final round Division 3 game against Cork should go ahead this weekend, and believes staging such dead rubbers gives “naysayers” ammunition to criticise the GAA for continuing with the inter-county season.

Following their win over Louth on Saturday, Cork have already been crowned Division 3 champions, while Longford’s promotion chances have all but evaporated that same day following their defeat to Derry.
