Morgan happy with Croker return
Cork manager Billy Morgan has expressed his satisfaction with the Games Administration Committee's decision to stage the Rebels' All-Ireland SFC semi-final with Kerry at Croke Park.
Killarney's Fitzgerald Stadium and the 'neutral' Gaelic Grounds in Limerick were mentioned as plausible venues for the all-Munster tie on August 28, but GAC chairman Tony O'Keeffe admitted there was little argument in the matter.
"The venues for the All-Ireland senior football semi-finals are pre-ordained. It's (semi-final) the second most important fixture in the football calendar and while there are cost issues for fans, most counties want to play at Croke Park."
Rebels boss Morgan has few qualms about bringing his side up for another day-out at Croker, after Sunday's thrilling defeat of Galway at headquarters.
"It can be a very intimidating venue so the more often a team plays there the better, particularly if you make it to the final," admitted the 60-year-old Morgan.
"Having said that, if someone told me that a toss of a coin was going to decide the venue between Killarney and Cork, I'd have no objection to that."
