Following on from today’s Oireachtas Committee hearing on Gaelic Games integration, the details have been confirmed for a unique triple-header at Croke Park this Sunday.

The Very Camogie League Finals and Leinster GAA Football Quarter Final will all take place back to back at the stadium.

The U21 Hurling and All-Ireland Camogie Finals have been staged together in previous years but this is a first at this early stage of the season.

In the Very Camogie All-Ireland Leagues Division 2A Final, Derry will play Westmeath at 12.30 pm. In the Division 1A Final, Galway will play Tipperary at 2.30 pm.

Following the Very Camogie League Finals, Dublin will take on Meath in the Leinster GAA Senior Football Championship at 4.30 pm.

“As our integration plan progresses, this is a unique day for The Camogie Association, The GAA and Croke Park,” said newly elected Camogie Association President Brian Molloy.

“Never before have the Camogie League Finals and a Gaelic Football Championship game been played on the same day in Croke Park.”

“As we celebrate 120 years of The Camogie Association, we encourage all Gaelic Games supporters and in particular, Dublin and Meath supporters, to arrive early to Croke Park this Sunday to watch both camogie games.”

“We would also love the camogie supporters of all teams to stay on and support the footballers. It’s going to be a unique day for Gaelic Games and definitely one for the history books.”

“One obvious manifestation of the increasing co-operation between the different Gaelic games organisations is the staging of our matches alongside each other showcasing in this instance some of the best players in the two different codes,” added GAA President Jarlath Burns.

“I am pleased to note that this is happening more often and it should be encouraged when our respective schedules allow it.”

Very Leagues Division 2A & 1A are live on RTE 2 @ 12.30 & 14.30 as part of a Live Triple Header from Croke Park with Leinster Football Meath v Dublin at 16.30.

Very Leagues Division 1B, 3A & 4 Finals will be streamed live on the Camogie Association YouTube Channel at 2.00 pm.

 

Sport for Business Perspective:

This is integration in reality, much as is happening in ‘One Club’ model clubs up and down the country every day.  Great that it should be promoted across the two codes but notable that it should still be greeted with surprise in some quarters.

Shared time, shared facilities, and shared storytelling.  Stronger together indeed.
