Order of football semi finals?

[Coillte_Bhoy]

Can anyone explain why the Leinster champions or whoever may have beaten them in the quarters are always in the second AI semi final?

Because it doesn't clash with the "soccer ball"

Its to give the Dubs as much rest as possible before the semi ?   

[Rossfan]

It's because they want the Ulsters to add another chip to the bags of spuds.

Curtain raiser always has to be played first!

Does it really matter?

Does it really matter?

No not really but im just wondering why the arrange,net is in place. It seems rather odd.

Actually it does.

The GAA will hold a slot for Croker in case the Dubs draw their semi-final.

Presumably because Leinster has the most counties in the c'ship (11) it takes the longest to run off, thus always gets put in the 2nd semi.
