GAA: Croke Park under cover ahead of camogie finals

THE covers are on the Croke Park pitch this week ahead of Sunday's All-Ireland Club camogie finals.

All-Ireland champions Slaughtneil face Sarsfields (3.30) in a repeat of last year's senior final.

The curtain raiser will see Kildare's Johnstownbridge do battle with another Galway side, Athenry for the intermediate title.

The pitch is currently covered but it is understood that the roads in and around the stadium are the main cause for concern.

A decision will be made by an 'emergency committee' and is expected to be announced on Thursday.
