Fruitless Visit to the Orchard for Hurlers
February 22, 2010
The Mayo Senior Hurlers failed to get their NHL Division 3A campaign underway last Sunday, after the pitch in Crossmaglen was deemed unplayable after an overnight fall of snow. The Mayo management of Martin Brennan and Pete Finnerty left no stone unturned in their preparation for the tie, having travelled up to Armagh on the Saturday evening before the game. The travelling party were very disappointed that no game was played on Sunday, after completing a 330 mile round trip to the North. Croke Park officers postponed the tie, after local officials failed to find an alternative playable venue. The tie is expected to be rescheduled on the weekend of 6th/7th March or 3rd/4th April, which are the only weekends available ahead of the NHL Dvision 3 final. The game will be rescheduled for an Armagh venue.
