Ciara O’Sullivan: Venue uncertainty in Ladies Football 'embarrassing'

The eight-time All-Ireland winning Cork forward believes an LGFA merger with the GAA would drastically improve pitch availability for female players

Cork’s Ciara O’Sullivan has described as “embarrassing” the frequency of ladies football teams not learning the venue for an inter-county fixture until the week of the game, calling on the LGFA to merge with the GAA.

O’Sullivan said there are “massive lessons” to be learned from last week’s All-Ireland semi-final fiasco, a fixture that was subject to two venue changes, one of those coming on the morning of the game, and the throw-in time being brought forward by half an hour roughly two hours before the new start time.
