Title: Limerick v Dublin NFL change
Post by: Hound on January 12, 2007, 12:12:34 PM
Limerick v Dublin in Division 1A of the NFL was originally scheduled for Sunday February 11.

It has now been moved to Saturday February 10, with a throw-in time of 2.30pm. The venue remains the Gaelic Grounds.

The Limerick County Board requested the change in order to facilitate Limerick fans wishing to travel to the Six Nations rugby clash of Ireland and France in Croke Park on the Sunday.

Cue more giving out about bowing to "foreign" sports.
Fair play, a bit of common sense

Well it will certainly achieve a much bigger attendance now than it would have done if it remained as a Sunday game.

So definitely a sensible decision.

Looking forward to my first visit to the Gaelic Grounds.
