I just checked with the GAA in Croke Park, and it's true, they are showing cricket instead.

The Australian Cricket team will make history on their forthcoming trip to Ireland as they are set to take to the hallowed turf at Croke Park.

Permission has been granted for the Australia squad to train at GAA Headquarters, three days before the Aussies take on Ireland in a One Day International at Clontarf.

The training session was approved as a part of the GAA's Croke Park marketing strategy to showcase the stadium.

Speaking in Thursday's Irish Independent, Croke Park stadium director, Peter McKenna said: The Australian cricketers were aware of Croke Park from watching their international rules and rugby teams playing there and were keen to have a run-out on the pitch.

'Central Council agreed to permit it as a special event. Anything that gets the Croke Park brand out there in the marketplace is important. We're in a very competitive space right now.'

The Ireland and Australia ODI fixture takes place on 17 June at the Clontarf Cricket Club.

Indeed Miley I'm pretty sure the plumber Kelly has extended his catering empire out that way so if you can google Ossieoutermongolia.com you'll be set up. The clash of the Shamrocks (b'boro and Kill) will be beamed by webcam into the cistern in bog trap 2 and the legendary 1995 County senior final is being shown on a continous loop with commentary overdubbed in Swahili. Yer Oul buddy SK is handling the door takings
