An Interprovincial competition will take place this October as part of the Jim Gavin-chaired Football Review Committee’s rule trials.

The competition, which is set to be played in Croke Park, will feature intercounty players eliminated from their club championships. The games will be open to the public and it is also hoped that the weekend tournament will be broadcast. It comes as the FRC continue to run ‘Sandbox games’ across the country.
