Armagh ladies manager James Daly doesn't pull any punches in his criticism of the GAA's decision not to allow their All-Ireland semi-final against Dublin to be played at Croke Park this Saturday.

According to the Ladies Gaelic Football Association, the GAA didn't want to play any extra games at Croke Park so close to the All-Ireland hurling finals and the ladies last four clash will now take place in Parnell Park instead.

"The way I look at it is that sexism is alive and well in the GAA today," Daly told The Belfast Telegraph.

"They could have, without any doubt, let us play in Croke Park and give all the girls a big day out. But the men's GAA don't like to do those things. They like to let on that they are integrating, but it is all for show.

"I am not happy about it at all. It's the same old story. There's nothing we can do about it."

Daly added:  "We have had our game in place for months and the men (Mayo and Dublin) had a drawn game in Croke Park. Within an hour, everybody is moving our game to make way for them.

"Why could they not have played their game at 2.00pm, and let our game stand the way it was?"
