Donal O'Rourke says that it's unfair that dual star Caoimhe McGrath has to choose between camogie and ladies football on Saturday. The Déise ladies throw in against Dublin at 3.30 in O'Moore Park while the camogie team welcome Clare to Walsh Park at 5 o'clock. O'Rourke and ladies boss Ciaran Curran tried unsuccessfully to move the games to different days.

"It's very difficult first and foremost for Caoimhe. She's been training all year with the footballers, she's been training all year with the hurlers; it's a dreadful situation. It's completely out of our control. Ciaran and myself were working during the week to see could we get the game changed. It's very disappointing for us both. Caoimhe has opted to play the camogie on Saturday. It's unfair on her and her team mates that she has to miss the football."

Hear more from Donal O'Rourke on Lár Na Páirce at 6.10 this evening.
