THE GAA WILL tonight pay tribute to the late Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe and former Dublin manager Kevin Heffernan, who both passed away recently.
Donohue was a big fan of the sport and was heavily involved with his local GAA Club, and the organisation will accordingly pay tribute to him and Heffernan with a moment’s silence before today’s Dublin-Cork Allianz Football League game at Croke Park.
A specially commissioned video will also be shown on Croke Park’s big screen, to celebrate 100 years of the GAA’s ownership of the stadium, with fireworks and the unfurling of a celebratory banner set to feature.
In addition to the Cork-Dublin game at 7pm, the encounter between Kildare and Donegal will throw-in at 5pm.
The entertainment will be hosted by Daithí Ó Sé, and Republic of Loose will play at half-time of the second game.
North Kildare socks please Dev
@kieran horgan: ….yeah, not the worst colours ever put together
Great to see an Irish presence in the squad this week . Last week was the French barbarians.
Great to see Adam Byrne get a shot , Leinster didn’t do him any favours the last while with game time , hopefully he kicks on in Connacht next season
@Michael Uzice: he’s been injured on and off for a long time.
@Michael Uzice: He’s always injured plus he’s had some very good wingers ahead of him James Lowe, Jordan Larmour, Jimmy O’Brien, Rory O’Loughlin who have all been fit
@Chris Mc: granted he has had his injury set backs but a great player when fit Chris .
@Harry O’Callaghan: I’m not disputing who’s ahead of him in pecking order all I’m pointing out is that Leinster management didnt give him much game time lately and he was not injured .
No funny business out of number 1 hopefully!
“Can I play Fly half?”
“Sure, Devin. Sure.”
@Mick O’Shea: I’m wondering if hel try to back heel a conversion.
@Mick O’Shea: Lol!… Shin kick into the car park
@James Daly: I’m hoping he’s practicing his drop-kicks this week :)
